Job description

Ready to elevate your career? Baytree Animal Hospital is excited to add you as a Short Term Stay Veterinarian! Our team located in Valdosta, Georgia prides themselves on their collaborative culture that integrates a variety of medical and surgical cases, while supporting you in your professional aspirations.

Department: General Practice Hospitals

Location: Baytree Animal Hospital, Valdosta, Georgia

This is an ideal role for:

• Full time W2 doctors looking for a location change, a change of pace, or are looking to be reenergized.
• Relief doctors looking for a little more stability without the full time leash.
• Seasoned veterinarians looking to slow down without stepping away – keeping clinical skills sharp while traveling, mentoring younger teams, or finding renewed energy in the profession.
• A doctor who wants flexibility to travel or ability to 'try before you buy' without the leash of a noncompete.

What Makes This Opportunity Special

• Built-In Flexibility: Choose the locations and time periods that work for your life. Whether you want extended breaks between assignments or back-to-back opportunities, we support your timeline.
• Housing, Travel and Onboarding Supported: Travel costs and short-term housing are covered with our monthly stipend. This allows you to focus on what you do best—providing excellent care.
• Strong Compensation & Benefits: Competitive daily rate pay that reflects your experience. No need to set up your own LLC or work through a third party relief agency, you'll be paid as a W2 employee, which can help to simplify your lift during tax season. You're also eligible for benefits like 401k match, pet care discount, and PLIT coverage.
• Clinical Focus, No Admin: Step away from day-to-day management responsibilities and operational logistics. This role is designed for veterinarians who want to practice medicine—not manage spreadsheets.
• Support for Life’s Transitions: Whether you’re easing into retirement, returning to clinical work after time away, or simply exploring a new pace, this role offers the flexibility and support to meet you where you are, professionally and personally.
• Keep Smart: Team is very focused on continuing education opportunities.
• Red, White, & Blue: Baytree loves to serve proud members of the armed forces.

• Manage a varying caseload, including surgeries and appointments during our open hours.
• Represent AVG with professionalism and compassion in the hospital you support.

Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise
