Description

Position Overview: We are seeking a compassionate, adaptable veterinarian (DVM) to join our team of 4 full-time and 2 part-time veterinarians. This role is ideal for a veterinarian who enjoys variety, values mission-driven work, and thrives in a collaborative, high-impact environment.

Our veterinarians rotate through multiple service areas, including wellness, high-quality high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN), dentistry, urgent care, soft tissue surgery, and mobile outreach. This model allows for professional growth, skill diversification, and meaningful community impact.

• Collaborate with veterinary technicians, assistants, and support staff to ensure efficient workflow
• Support a positive, respectful, and team-oriented culture
• Uphold PRCKC's mission of accessible, judgment-free care

What Makes This Role Unique:

• Variety in Practice: Work across multiple service lines rather than a single-track role
• Mission-Driven Impact: Serve underserved communities and reduce barriers to care
• Collaborative Culture: Team-based care with strong technician and support staff
• Growth Opportunities: Develop skills in surgery, dentals, and community medicine
• Flexible Scheduling: Choose a schedule that works for your lifestyle

• Flexible Days: Do something different each day, and leave when you're done
• Limited Face to Face Contact: You'll have a team of frontline staff at your disposal to speak to owners on your behalf for any conversation that does not require a doctor
