What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Veterinarian position at Vetcelerator?
We are a busy practice north of Ann Arbor, looking to add additional associates. Part-time and full-time applicants are both encouraged to apply; new or recent graduates are welcome. The practice has been operating for over 20 years and is recently under new ownership by a longtime associate. While the practice is mainly composed of dog and cat patients, we also treat small pocket pets, and welcome expansion into other areas if an associate has an interest. We focus on preventive medicine and high-quality management of chronic conditions, including annual blood work, prescription diet usage, multi-modal pain management, and collaborations with boarded internal medicine specialists and surgeons. Routine surgeries performed daily, as well as laparotomies, mass removals, and brachycephalic airway procedures. We have good relationships with local emergency and referral hospitals, so there are no on-call hours, as well as relief vets when needed for time off. Our area has a large amount of population growth, and we are looking for an individual who can help expand the practice further to become the premier hospital in our area. Owner's practice style is very collaborative, with strong mentoring capabilities. Practice expansion planned in 2023 to provide additional and specialized practice space.
Professional and friendly staff, and committed clients make for an environment where high-quality medicine is the standard.
