What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Veterinarian position at Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Florida?
North Florida Veterinary Hospitals Seeking Two Associates
Are you looking for a QAR rural practice where you can build meaningful relationships with clients, or a BAR urgent care hospital with exciting challenges? Whichever you prefer, our two AAHA-accredited hospitals offer the best of both worlds—one is an ever growing, traditional, small animal practice, with a focus on client education and wellness, and the other is an urgent care facility that treats a variety of emergencies and challenging medical cases. Although our two hospitals treat different types of patients and clientele, we approach each case by looking at the patient as an individual with unique needs.
Both of our hospitals are paperless, and fully stocked with an in-house lab, digital radiography, dental radiography, therapeutic laser, and ultrasound. Our dedicated support staff handle all technical tasks so our DVMs can focus on practicing top-notch medicine. We work hard to maintain a positive work environment and family-friendly culture, and encourage a healthy work-life balance and outside interests, which our location provides ample access to.
North Florida offers a laid-back, rural lifestyle and low cost of living with all the perks of the Sunshine State!
