Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Associate Veterinarian – Urgent Care & Emergency Medicine

What if your next career move came with mountain views, endless outdoor adventure, and four beautiful seasons?

Are you a veterinarian who enjoys urgent care and emergency medicine but isn't interested in the burnout that often comes with traditional ER practice?

Veterinary Pulse Alliance is a newly established nonprofit urgent care and hospitalization facility opening in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Created to address a critical gap in veterinary care, our facility will provide after-hours urgent care, emergency services, and overnight hospitalization for pets that would otherwise travel more than 85 miles over mountain passes to reach the nearest emergency hospital.

This is a rare opportunity to join a mission‑driven organization from the very beginning. You'll have access to an experienced leadership team that includes a board‑certified internal medicine specialist. You will help build a sustainable emergency care model focused on excellent medicine, community impact, and veterinary wellbeing.

Unlike many emergency hospitals, our anticipated caseload allows you the time and space to practice thoughtful medicine, build relationships with referring veterinarians, and enjoy a quality of life that is often difficult to find in emergency medicine.

What's in it for you?

• Purpose‑Driven Nonprofit Mission: Join a 501(c)(3) organization built to support both pets and veterinary professionals. Every decision is guided by what’s best for patients, the community, and the people providing care.
• Emergency Medicine Without the Chaos: Practice urgent care, emergency medicine, and hospitalization in a lower‑volume environment that allows for thorough diagnostics, strong client communication, and thoughtful medical decision‑making without the relentless pace of a large metropolitan ER.
• Mentorship & Clinical Support: Consultation and support are available from an experienced Internal Medicine Specialist, local veterinary colleagues, and external veterinary consultation resources, providing additional guidance when needed while maintaining your professional autonomy.
• Build Something From the Ground Up: Be a foundational member of a brand‑new facility and help shape protocols, workflows, culture, and the future direction of the organization as we expand our services and impact.
• Modern Equipment & Emergency Capabilities: Utilize digital radiography, portable ultrasound for FAST scans, Snyder oxygen cages, in‑house diagnostics, advanced anesthesia equipment, oxygen generation systems, and a fully equipped surgical suite capable of handling emergency procedures such as GDVs and splenectomies.
• A Lifestyle Few Places Can Match: Live and work in Jackson Hole with Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park in your backyard. Whether you enjoy skiing, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, climbing, wildlife photography, or simply breathtaking scenery, this community offers unparalleled access to outdoor recreation.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary of $150,000+ annually based on experience, schedule, and skill set, with flexibility to structure compensation in a way that best supports your goals and long‑term success. No Negative Accrual!
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (w/ clinic contribution to monthly premium!)
• Flexible Relocation & Signing Incentives – Sign‑on bonuses, relocation assistance, housing support, and other transition benefits are available and can be customized to fit your individual needs.
• Generous Continuing Education allowance of $2500 + 3 Paid CE days/year.
• Enjoy 3 weeks of paid time off, plus additional bonus compensation for holidays worked.
• 100% Clinic Paid Dues, License & Liability Coverage.
• Scrubs Provided.
• $300/year Investment in your interests (season ski pass, National Park pass, gym membership, charity donation, etc.)
• Flexible scheduling.
• Private overnight sleeping areas.

About the Role

Veterinary Pulse Alliance operates as an after‑hours urgent care and hospitalization facility designed to complement local veterinary hospitals.

Following walk‑in hours, a veterinarian and technician remain on‑site to monitor hospitalized patients and respond to emergency cases as needed. Private sleeping quarters are provided, allowing meaningful downtime when caseload permits.

You’ll manage a diverse caseload of urgent and emergency presentations including trauma stabilization, critical medical cases, emergency surgeries, and hospitalized patients requiring overnight monitoring. While emergency experience is valuable, this opportunity may also appeal to confident general practitioners seeking to expand their emergency skillset within a supportive environment.

About Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Few places offer the combination of professional fulfillment and personal adventure found in Jackson Hole. Surrounded by the Tetons and serving as the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, the area attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the world while maintaining a close‑knit, community‑oriented atmosphere.

Residents enjoy world‑class skiing, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, rafting, climbing, wildlife viewing, and endless opportunities to explore the outdoors. While Jackson Hole is a unique and competitive housing market, our housing stipend and relocation assistance are designed to help make the transition easier.
