Job description

Practice Emergency Medicine With the Support You Need

A privately owned specialty and emergency hospital in the Austin area is seeking an Emergency Veterinarian to join its growing ER team.

This is an opportunity to practice high-quality emergency medicine in a collaborative environment with experienced emergency technicians, advanced diagnostics, specialty consultation, and dedicated clinical leadership.

The position is well suited for an experienced Emergency Veterinarian or a strong General Practitioner who wants to transition into emergency medicine with the right mentorship, resources, and specialty support.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Emergency medicine is demanding. The right environment makes a difference.

You’ll have access to:

• Experienced emergency technicians
• Strong technician-to-doctor support
• Collaborative specialty consultation
• Board-certified specialty support
• Critical care, surgery, and oncology collaboration
• Advanced diagnostic imaging
• Dedicated anesthesia support
• An in-house social worker supporting both clients and team members
• Leadership that values clinical input and physician well-being

Emergency doctors are not expected to practice in isolation. Collaboration across ER, critical care, surgery, oncology, and other specialty services is an important part of the hospital's culture.

The Hospital

This is a rapidly growing, privately owned specialty and emergency hospital serving the greater Austin and Central Texas community.

Current clinical services include:

• 24/7 Emergency & Critical Care
• Orthopedic Surgery
• Soft Tissue Surgery
• Surgical Oncology
• Medical Oncology

The hospital continues to expand its specialty services and invest in its clinicians, support teams, technology, and facilities.

Advanced Facilities & Equipment

Emergency clinicians have access to sophisticated diagnostic and treatment capabilities, including:

• 64-slice CT
• C-arm fluoroscopy
• Diagnostic ECG
• Oxygen kennels
• High-flow oxygen
• Diagnostic ultrasound
• HD endoscopy
• Advanced anesthesia support
• Collaborative specialty and emergency departments
• Established referral relationships throughout Central Texas

The hospital is equipped to manage everything from routine emergencies to complex and critically ill patients.

Schedule & Quality of Life

Sustainable emergency medicine requires a schedule and environment that support physicians over the long term.

This position offers:

• Consistent day/swing schedule
• No overnight schedule for this opening
• Dedicated technician support
• Collaborative ER team
• Strong specialty backup
• Emphasis on work-life balance
• Supportive, team-oriented culture
• Long-term professional growth opportunities

What We're Looking For

• DVM or VMD from an accredited institution
• Current Texas veterinary license or eligibility for Texas licensure
• Strong clinical and diagnostic skills
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Collaborative approach to patient care
• Commitment to high-quality, evidence-based medicine

Experienced ER veterinarians are encouraged to apply, as are motivated General Practitioners interested in making the transition into emergency medicine.

Compensation & Benefits

A highly competitive compensation package is offered and is designed to recognize experience, performance, and long-term contribution.

Benefits may include:

• Competitive base salary
• Production-based bonus structure
• No negative accrual
• Sign-on bonus
• CE allowance and dedicated CE days
• Professional dues and licensing coverage
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life and disability insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid time off
• Parental leave
• Pawrental and pawreavement days
• Tuition and professional development assistance
• Employee pet care discounts
• Mental health and wellness resources
• Employee discount programs
• Discounted gym membership

Why Austin?

Austin offers an appealing combination of career opportunity and quality of life, with access to:

• No Texas state individual income tax
• Texas Hill Country
• Lakes, hiking, and outdoor recreation
• An internationally recognized food and live music scene
• Family-friendly communities
• A growing veterinary and healthcare market

A Different Kind of ER Opportunity

This is more than another emergency veterinarian position. It's an opportunity to join a privately owned specialty hospital where clinicians have a voice, collaboration is part of everyday medicine, and doctors have access to the resources needed to manage challenging cases.
