Associate Veterinarian – General Practice

Jackson Metro, Mississippi
$105,000–$170,000 | Full-Time

Looking for a general practice where you can build strong client relationships, practice quality medicine, and still have room for life outside the hospital?

DVM Focus is recruiting an Associate Veterinarian for an established small animal practice in the Jackson metro area. This opportunity offers a broad general practice caseload, experienced team support, flexible scheduling, mentorship, and room to continue developing your clinical interests.

• Routine surgery

You’ll have the opportunity to practice comprehensive small animal medicine while continuing to develop your skills in the areas that interest you most.

What They’re Looking For

• DVM, VMD, or equivalent veterinary degree
• Active Mississippi veterinary license or ability to obtain one
• Strong communication and client-service skills
• Collaborative, team-oriented approach to patient care
• Commitment to compassionate, high-quality medicine
• Interest in continued clinical and professional development

New graduates are welcome, and mentorship is available.

DEA licensure and USDA accreditation are preferred but are not required at the time of application.

Why This One Is Worth a Conversation

This role offers a solid mix of general practice medicine, schedule flexibility, and team support.

For a newer DVM, there is mentorship and room to keep building confidence across medicine, surgery, and dentistry. For an experienced veterinarian, there is the ability to bring established skills while maintaining autonomy and work-life balance.

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.
