Job description

WHO WE ARE:

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC) is a rapidly growing group of emergency veterinary clinics with 5 locations across the Midwest. Our mission is to continue to expand into and support communities who need us the most—where pet owners don’t have access to 24/7 vet care.

We believe in providing exceptional, around-the-clock care—because emergencies don’t just happen between 9-5.

WHAT’S LIFE LIKE AT EVCC?

At EVCC, we genuinely care about whoever walks through our door—whether it be a sick pet, their parent, or one of our own team members.

We’re a veterinarian-led company that truly values the perspectives and leadership of our DVMs. Started by 36 area general practice veterinarians—the majority of whom remain involved with EVCC today—we’re proud of the collaborative environment that exists in all our locations.

Because let’s face it; while emergency veterinary care is an exciting and fulfilling field, it’s not easy. That’s why we take extra special care of our team members through continuing education opportunities, promotion possibilities, and a supportive work environment you can be proud of.

REPORTS TO:

Emergency Veterinarian Medical Director

POSITION OVERVIEW:

Our new Kalamazoo location needs skilled, friendly and energetic Emergency Veterinarians to strive for and achieve excellence in emergency veterinary medicine in the area.

As an Emergency Veterinarian at EVCC, you will:

Provide quality and compassionate emergency care to a diverse range of patients in a fast-paced environment.
Collaborate with a highly skilled support team to ensure exceptional patient outcomes.
Utilize advanced diagnostic tools and technology to make critical decisions with confidence.

Our high technician-to-DVM ratio ensures that you can focus on what you do best; patient care, diagnostics, and case investigation, while our skilled technicians and operations team handle everything else.

If you’re excited by the prospect of being your clients’ “superhero” in an underserved area, this is your chance.

WHY KALAMAZOO?

Located approximately 50 miles from the shores of Lake Michigan, Kalamazoo has the right amount of small-town charm with big-city amenities. Known for its heritage and sense of community, the city enjoys a vibrant arts and culture scene, featuring theatres, museums, and festivals during the year.

If you’re a nature enthusiast, you can enjoy the 33 city parks Kalamazoo has to offer with numerous hiking and biking trails. Enjoy craft beer? You’ll be happy to know that one of the fastest growing microbreweries, Bell’s, was founded (and still operates) in the city!

With lively nightlife and lower cost of living than most large cities, Kalamazoo is not only enjoyable, but affordable as well.
