The Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Tualatin (EVCOT) is seeking a full-time ICU Veterinarian to join our team.

For more than 30 years, EVCOT has been a trusted emergency hospital serving patients from the Portland metro area to the Oregon Coast. We are privately owned by a currently practicing emergency veterinarian and are known for stable leadership, low staff turnover, strong staff loyalty, and a collaborative team culture.

We are proud to provide high-quality emergency care while remaining one of the most affordable ER hospitals in the area. This is an excellent opportunity for a veterinarian seeking strong compensation, schedule stability, meaningful medical case management, and long-term practice stability outside of corporate medicine.

This role is especially well suited to veterinarians who enjoy medical case management, client communication, and the ongoing care of hospitalized patients.

Why Join EVCOT?

• Salary-based compensation with no production pay
• Consistent set schedule
• Supportive, family-centered culture
• Highly collaborative doctor team
• Strong mentorship and peer support
• Meaningful ICU and hospitalized patient management
• Leadership and growth opportunities
• Close collaboration with specialty imaging support through VDIC

Schedule

This position works 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday with alternating Wednesdays. The number of shifts worked each month varies depending on how the alternating Wednesdays fall. Time off is requested and scheduled using available PTO. Additional shifts worked beyond the regular schedule are paid as bonuses.

Position Overview

The ICU Veterinarian plays a key role in the management of hospitalized and critically ill patients. Candidates for this position must have excellent time management skills and strong client communication skills.

• Rounding with overnight doctors
• Assessing which hospitalized patients are the most critical
• Implementing treatment and diagnostic plan changes for hospitalized patients
• Communicating recommendations and updates to clients
• Providing daily financial updates to clients
• Updating each client at least once daily
• Formulating discharge instructions and ongoing care recommendations
• Helping facilitate referral to specialty facilities when appropriate and as requested by clients
• Taking overflow ER cases when time permits
• Taking referral phone calls and referral cases when able

ICU doctors are also expected to perform surgery when appropriate, although their surgical caseload is significantly lighter than that of overnight and staff doctors.

Hospital and Team

Our veterinarians are supported by a full on-site laboratory, fully equipped surgical suite, endoscopy, digital radiology, ultrasound, and highly trained support staff. Our team includes 10 full-time veterinarians, 6 part‑time veterinarians, certified veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, and kennel staff. We also partner with Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging and Cytology (VDIC), with a radiology team on site and diagnostic ultrasounds available 6 days a week.

Mentorship and Clinical Opportunities

Mentorship is similar to that offered to our associate veterinarians. ICU doctors are expected to have a higher level of clinical experience and expertise, but they are not practicing in isolation. Because they are not alone on shift, collaboration with peers is readily available, and mentorship and case support opportunities are plentiful. Clinical opportunities emphasize medical case management, critically ill patients, post‑operative surgical patients, and collaboration with VDIC, with less emphasis on surgery than the associate role.

Professional Support

EVCOT pays for Oregon licensure, membership dues to AVMA or VECCS, and membership dues to OVMA or PVMA. We also pay for one major conference every other year, including registration, travel, and hotel accommodations. Additional CE support may be available upon request. Sign‑on bonuses, relocation assistance, and ongoing tuition support are negotiable.

Qualifications

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM/VMD) or equivalent degree required. Veterinary license in good standing, or eligibility for licensure in Oregon. Emergency experience strongly preferred. Five years of clinical experience preferred.

Location

Tualatin offers convenient access to the greater Portland area, the Oregon Coast, and abundant outdoor recreation, making it an excellent place to build both a career and a life.
