Veterinarian (83605)

What Success Looks Like

Successful veterinarians in our clinic:

• Perform high-quality surgery efficiently and confidently
• Utilize technicians to the fullest extent of their training and licensure
• Maintain strong appointment flow while delivering excellent patient care
• Communicate effectively with clients from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds
• Work collaboratively and respectfully with all team members
• Embrace continuous improvement and accountability
• Focus on solutions rather than obstacles
• Support the mission even when the work is challenging

Surgical Expectations

Our veterinarians are expected to become proficient in a high-volume surgical environment.

Typical surgical responsibilities may include:

• High-volume spay and neuter surgery
• Soft tissue surgery
• Dental procedures
• Shelter medicine procedures
• Urgent care and community medicine cases

Experienced surgeons should expect to complete approximately:

• 10-20+ sterilization surgeries during a dedicated surgery day
• Additional soft tissue and medically necessary procedures as scheduled

New graduates and less experienced surgeons will receive mentorship and training but must demonstrate a commitment to developing surgical efficiency and confidence.

Medical Appointment Expectations

We are committed to providing access to care while maintaining medical quality.

Veterinarians should be comfortable:

• Seeing a full appointment schedule
• Maintaining efficient medical records
• Utilizing credentialed technicians appropriately
• Delegating tasks effectively
• Making sound medical decisions in a community medicine setting

A typical full-time veterinarian may see:

• 18–30 appointments per day depending on appointment type, surgery schedule, and staffing levels

Our goal is not simply to move faster—it is to help more animals without compromising patient care.
