Job description

Veterinary Internist (Board-Certified or Residency-Trained)

Los Angeles, CA (TrueCare for Pets) | Competitive Compensation + Sign-On Bonus

BluePearl Pet Hospital is seeking a full-time Veterinary Internist to join our collaborative team at our Los Angeles location, operating within TrueCare for Pets.

This is an opportunity to practice advanced internal medicine in one of Southern California's most established specialty hospitals-fully accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association-supported by a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team and a strong, loyal referral community across the greater Los Angeles area.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Established, high-volume specialty hospital with a strong referral base throughout Los Angeles
• Opportunity to grow and shape the Internal Medicine service within a respected, AAHA-accredited institution
• Collaborative environment with tenured specialists and experienced clinical leadership
• Robust technician support with a strong focus on patient care and efficiency
• Unique access to advanced emergency resources, including a regional blood and anti-venom bank

About the Hospital

We are a premier specialty and emergency hospital in Los Angeles, known for delivering advanced, high-quality veterinary care for dogs and cats.

Fully accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the hospital meets rigorous standards across patient care, safety, and clinical excellence.

Formerly known as the Animal Emergency Centre, the hospital was established in 1980 and has been serving the community from its Studio City location since 2005. Today, it remains a cornerstone of emergency and specialty care in the region.

The hospital also serves as the primary veterinary blood and anti-venom bank for the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area, supporting critical cases such as snake bites and severe trauma emergencies.

Advanced Facilities & Equipment

• Digital radiography and advanced imaging capabilities
• CT (CAT scan) and C-arm fluoroscopy unit
• Comprehensive in-house laboratory
• Dedicated ICU and inpatient care units
• Laparoscopic and arthroscopic equipment
• LigaSure device for minimally invasive surgery
• Surgical stapling technology and advanced surgical suites

You’ll work alongside a deeply experienced team of specialists and emergency clinicians across disciplines, all committed to exceptional patient outcomes and collaborative medicine.

A Collaborative and Growth-Oriented Culture

• Strong interdisciplinary collaboration across specialty and emergency services
• Opportunities to expand and develop internal medicine services within a high-demand market
• Access to BluePearl University and continuing education resources
• Participation in clinical research through BluePearl Science
• Mentorship and leadership development opportunities

Life in Los Angeles

• World-renowned dining, entertainment, and arts scene
• Access to beaches, mountains, and year-round outdoor activities
• Diverse neighborhoods with vibrant communities
• Proximity to destinations like Malibu, Santa Barbara, and San Diego
• A dynamic, fast-paced environment with endless personal and professional opportunities

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary range: $184,000 - $263,000 + production bonus (no negative accrual!)
• Sign-on bonus up to $100,000
• Relocation assistance
• 3 weeks PTO (up to 6 weeks) + 6 floating holidays annually
• 6 weeks at 50% base salary for board exam prep & testing
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Parental leave + fertility support

Professional Growth

• CE stipend + access to premium learning platforms (VetGirl, VetFolio, etc.)
• BluePearl Science (clinical research opportunities)
• Leadership and mentorship pathways

Wellbeing Support

• Mental health resources (LYRA + EAP)
• A culture that prioritizes sustainability-not burnout

Pet & Lifestyle Perks

• Discounts on BluePearl Pet Care, Trupanion, Royal Canin, and Mars products
• Annual company store allowance
