• Active Indiana veterinary license or ability to obtain one
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Proficiency or developing proficiency in general medicine and surgery
• Commitment to compassionate, high-quality patient care
• Interest in continued clinical and professional growth

New graduates are encouraged to apply, and mentorship is available.

Why This One Is Worth a Conversation

This opportunity combines broad general practice medicine with flexibility, mentorship, and the ability to continue growing clinically without sacrificing autonomy.

For a newer DVM, there is support to keep building confidence. For an experienced veterinarian, there is room to bring established skills, shape your caseload, and potentially explore longer-term ownership opportunities.

DVM Focus will walk you through the practice, schedule, compensation structure, team, and expectations before an introduction is made so you can decide whether the opportunity actually aligns with what you want.
