What We're Looking For

  • Adaptability: Comfortable working in a mobile environment and traveling to different regional locations.
  • Clinical Proficiency: Strong skills in internal medicine, preventative care, and diagnostic interpretation.
  • Compassion: A genuine desire to serve varied communities and improve the lives of pets and their people.
  • DVM/VMD Degree: Must be licensed (or eligible for licensure) in the state of practice.


Other Responsibilities
  • Intermittent spay neuter is also anticipated based on the demand of the primary care practice areas and can be accomplished with the use of a mobile hospital owned and maintained by the Veterinary Hospital.
