Job description

Cascade Veterinary Clinics is seeking a motivated and growth-minded New Graduate DVM who is eager to build confidence, expand clinical skills, and practice high-quality medicine in a supportive, team-oriented environment.

We understand that your first position after veterinary school shapes your entire career. That’s why we have created a mentorship-driven environment designed specifically for new doctors — one that emphasizes collaboration, guided surgical experience, case discussion, and steady growth without overwhelming pressure.

This full-time or part-time, on-site role allows you to provide high-quality care to a loyal and established client base across North Central Washington while developing your skills alongside experienced, mentor-minded peers.

You will practice preventative and urgent care medicine, perform surgery and dentistry with structured support, and build meaningful relationships with clients — all while strengthening your diagnostic confidence and clinical decision-making.

Role expectations:

• Provide high-quality preventative and urgent care medicine with mentorship support
• Gradually build surgical and dental skills through guided, hands‑on experience
• Diagnose, treat, and manage a wide variety of medical conditions
• Participate in collaborative case discussions with peers
• Communicate clearly and compassionately with clients and team members
• Maintain accurate and thorough medical records
• Embrace feedback and demonstrate a commitment to continual growth

We believe in progressive independence — not sink‑or‑swim expectations. Your caseload and surgical responsibilities will grow alongside your confidence.

Benefits:

• Competitive base salary with production‑based bonus structure
• Earning potential of $130,000-300,000 per year with long‑term growth opportunity
• No negative accrual
• Sign‑on bonus OR relocation package
• PTO and paid holidays
• Flexible scheduling that supports work‑life balance
• CE reimbursement and paid CE time
• Paid DEA, USDA, and state licensing fees
• Company‑paid AVMA, AVMA PLIT, and VIN dues
• Health, dental, and liability insurance
• 401k with 3% company contribution
• Scrub allowance
• Wellness Program
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Discounted employee pet care
• A genuinely supportive team culture focused on mentorship and collaboration
