Overview
We9re looking for an
Associate Veterinarian, new grad or experienced, to join our recently remodeled, full-service hospital in the heart of Alexandria, VA. Whether you9re fresh out of school and looking for a place to land and grow, or you9re ready for something better, we might just be your people.
Why You9ll Love Us:- Great Equipment, Strong Team, Full Autonomy - Surgical laser, cautery unit, endoscope, ultrasound, and more inside a freshly remodeled facility. You9ll have the tools, the tech support, and the medical autonomy to practice the kind of medicine you actually want to practice.
- Roots Run Deep, Laughs Run Deeper - Many of our team members have been here for over a decade, and our clients have been with us just as long. We9ve built something real here, real relationships, real trust, and a team that genuinely enjoys showing up every day. We celebrate wins, laugh together, support each other through the tough days, and now we9re stepping into an exciting new chapter of growth. The best of both worlds.
- New Grads, You9re Welcome Here - We genuinely love mentoring and watching people grow. You9ll be supported by experienced veterinary mentors who are invested in your success, with regular check-ins and Encore9s MentorCore program in your corner. Come ready to learn, and we9ll meet you there.
- Rare Doesn9t Even Cover It - Not many practices can say their Medical Director has an active background in NIH-funded ocular research. Ours can. If eye medicine lights you up or you9ve always wanted to dig deeper into it, you9ve landed in the right place. This is a genuinely rare opportunity to learn from someone at that level.
- A Schedule Built Around Your Life - Flexible scheduling, stable hours, and never open on Sundays. Part-time and full-time both welcome.
You Are:- A US Licensed DVM or DVM equivalent.
- An excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
- A Collaborative and supportive team member who loves sharing knowledge.
- Flexible and able to pivot and adapt as needed.
- Are energized by change and excited to help shape the future of a hospital with deep community roots
