Job description

We are working on behalf of a full-service veterinary hospital in Missoula, MT that is looking to welcome an experienced Associate Veterinarian to its growing team.

The hospital cares for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and exotic pets, so this is a great fit for a vet who enjoys small animal medicine and would love to keep exotics in the mix.

You will provide comprehensive medical care, perform routine and advanced soft tissue surgery and dentistry, and build diagnostic and treatment plans with real clinical autonomy.

Doctors are supported by several licensed veterinary technicians and a dedicated support team, so you have the hands and resources you need to practice high-quality medicine.

The hospital uses modern diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options, with a focus on individualized care and lifelong wellness for every patient. Work-life balance is built into the role, not bolted on. This is a full-time position with flexible scheduling, no on-call, and no after-hours emergency duties.

A structured mentorship program and annual CE support help you keep growing, whether that means sharpening your surgical skills or building your exotics caseload. Outside of work, Missoula is hard to beat. Mountains, rivers, and forests surround the town, with endless hiking and fishing, plus a vibrant downtown full of local restaurants, shops, and a thriving arts scene. It is a friendly, community-minded place to put down roots in the Mountain West.
