Job description

We're Hiring: Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialist (DACVIM-SAIM)

$185,000–$230,000 Base Salary + Production (No Negative Accrual)

Looking for exceptional medicine, a collaborative team, and the freedom to practice the way you believe veterinary medicine should be practiced?

At Evolution Veterinary Specialists (EVS), we're proud to be #TrulyPrivatelyOwned.

What does that mean? We're a veterinarian-owned specialty and emergency hospital with no corporate ownership, no private-equity investors, and no outside equity shareholders. Our decisions are made by veterinarians, not investors.

We're looking for a board-certified or board-eligible Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialist to join our growing team and help shape the future of our Internal Medicine service.

We're a privately owned, AAHA-accredited, 26,000-square-foot specialty and emergency hospital located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, just minutes from Denver.

Our hospital offers

• 24/7 Emergency and Critical Care, including a 2,500-square-foot ICU with Snyder oxygen units and high-flow oxygen therapy
• Advanced diagnostic capabilities, including CT, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, endoscopy, and laparoscopy
• Four-suite surgical center and on-site blood bank
• Collaborative specialists in Cardiology, Surgery, Oncology, Critical Care, and Emergency Medicine
• Experienced Internal Medicine technicians, including VTS-level support
• Clinical autonomy and the opportunity to help develop and grow your department

What We Offer

• $185,000–$230,000 base salary, plus production compensation with no negative accrual
• Signing bonus and relocation assistance
• Four 10-hour shifts per week
• One week of on-call coverage per month
• 401(k) with 4% employer contribution
• Health insurance and additional benefits
• Continuing education support and professional development
• A collaborative culture where your voice matters and leadership is accessible

What We're Looking For

A board-certified or board-eligible DACVIM (SAIM) who is passionate about excellent medicine, enjoys collaboration, and wants to make a meaningful contribution to a growing specialty service.

Abdominal ultrasound proficiency is strongly preferred.

Why Does Ownership Matter?

As new veterinary hospitals enter the market, terms like independent, employee-owned, and privately owned are increasingly common.

But they're not necessarily the same thing.

At EVS, our ownership structure means we have the freedom to invest in our people, our equipment, and our patients without answering to outside equity investors.

We're not building a hospital for an eventual corporate exit. We're building a hospital where exceptional veterinary medicine and the people who practice it can thrive.

If you're looking for a hospital where you can practice excellent medicine, have a voice in your department, and be part of something genuinely different, we'd love to talk.
