Job Description

Join a well-established animal care center in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood as an Associate Veterinarian and become part of a team dedicated to delivering high-quality veterinary medicine. This practice is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, a skilled support staff, and a collaborative environment where veterinarians are empowered to provide the best care possible.

New graduates and current veterinary students are encouraged to apply and will receive dedicated mentorship through a six-month individualized mentorship program.

The hospital serves a diverse client base, primarily caring for dogs and cats while also offering services for small mammals and exotics. One of the veterinarians specializes in treating exotic pets, expanding the scope of available services. Through a partnership with a board-certified cardiologist, the hospital provides in-house cardiology services, including echocardiograms and evaluations, ensuring comprehensive care for pets with cardiac conditions.

Committed to Fear Free practices, the team includes many members certified in Fear Free handling techniques, with a goal of becoming a fully Fear Free-certified hospital. Patient comfort is a top priority, and every effort is made to create a low-stress experience for both pets and their owners. The hospital is also advancing its diagnostic capabilities, moving toward hands-free radiology and soon offering full abdominal ultrasonography.

The focus is on wellness, preventive care, diagnostics, and specialty services. In addition to general practice, the hospital provides advanced cardiology services and comprehensive care for exotics. The schedule is designed to support work-life balance, typically consisting of a four-day work week from Monday through Saturday, with no on-call hours. Friday evening and Saturday shifts rotate among doctors to ensure a fair and manageable workload.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive and progressive veterinary team in a well-equipped facility dedicated to providing exceptional patient care.
