Job description

Schumacher Veterinary Clinic Las Cruces, NM

This busy mixed-animal practice began as a family venture and currently employs 4 FT DVMs with a diverse set of professional interests. We are looking for the RIGHT FT or PT individual(s) to join our group. Both new graduates and experienced individuals are considered.

We provide full-service large and small animal care with emergency service for established clients ONLY. On-call work is divided between associates, and assistants and back-up are always available. The practice is heavy on surgery, including routine and some specialty procedures (such as advanced soft tissue, orthopedic, large animal, and dentistry), as well as a substantial amount of wellness care and internal medicine work. Mentoring is strongly encouraged for new grads.

We support outside CE for all doctors and senior staff, in addition to in-house monthly meetings led by our doctors and/or guest speakers for all employees.

Our facilities include an in-house IDEXX lab, digital radiography (stationary, dental, and mobile), a truck with Porta-Vet, and endoscopy among other services we offer our clients. CCRT and CCRA are on staff, and we provide options for non-traditional treatments such as hydrotherapy, acupuncture, cold laser, chiropractic, and PEMF. This practice continues to grow month-to-month and year-to-year, with plenty of room to accommodate new individual and professional interests. We are also undergoing internal remodeling and upgrades to our computer system this fall and winter.

A background check and/or drug testing may be required due to ongoing contracts with law enforcement and working canines. Our core staff has a combined 125+ years of experience at this job, plus a full-time Practice Manager to help support you as best as possible.

Las Cruces is a small city that maintains a small-town atmosphere. Many clients have been loyal customers for decades (and even generations!)—they are also our neighbors and friends. We strive to maintain this relationship and provide the highest level of care tailored to each individual client and patient. Our desert climate is temperate and enjoyable year-round, with nearby access to hiking, hunting, water sports, skiing, and more.

Minimum Requirements: DVM or equivalent with necessary licensing required. Both FT and PT positions are considered along with all experience levels.
