What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Internal Medicine position at Schwarzman Animal Medical Center?
The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City seeks an experienced board certified (ACVIM or ECVIM) Internal Medicine specialist to lead our Internal Medicine Department and work with administration to further expand and grow AMC’s internal medicine services. They will help assure excellence in postgraduate teaching and training, assist in oversight of our ACVIM internal medicine residency training program, and encourage clinical investigation. They will also ensure outstanding client experience and build relationships with AMC’s veterinary community. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced veterinarian in internal medicine looking to take their career to the next level and work in a newly constructed, state-of-the-art facility. Thanks to our current expansion and renovation project, we will soon have a new, dedicated Internal Medicine suite including outpatient examination rooms, treatment rooms, and a waiting room in addition to our current dialysis and endoscopic procedure rooms.
The Internal Medicine Department includes six ACVIM diplomates in Internal Medicine, one ACVECC diplomate in the role of hospitalist, nine IM residents, as well as rotating interns, experienced licensed veterinary technicians (LVTs) and assistants, and dedicated IM service coordinators.
