Job description

The Veterinary Specialty Centre of Newfoundland and Labrador is the province’s only specialty referral center and full-service emergency hospital. It was originally founded to make sure that no pet owner would have to leave the province to get the proper care their pet needs.

We have the only board-certified radiologist in the province, regular locum board-certified surgeons, a CT scanner, as well as an MRI machine.

From hiking trails and other outdoor adventures, whale watching and historical sites, to a vibrant downtown area with world-renowned restaurants, a thriving arts community, and a varied social scene.

Our ideal candidate is client/patient centered, with strong communication and people skills. This person is self-motivated, confident in their medical abilities and able to collaborate with other doctors, as needed.
