Job description

Job Description

We’re looking for a Criticalist who is confident managing hospitalized patients and critical care cases in a busy emergency setting. Strong clinical skills, excellent communication, and a collaborative spirit are key.

What Makes Us Stand Out

Specialty Support You Can Count On

Our hospital is proud to offer direct access to a variety of specialists, all under one roof:

Dr. Jared Williams, DACVIM, provides internal medicine services through Ozark Veterinary Specialty Care within our facility.

Dr. Mark Sharp, DVM, has a special interest and years of experience in orthopedic and soft tissue surgery.

Dr. Winter, a board-certified veterinary dentist, provides advanced dental care twice monthly.

Dr. Hodgson, DVM, brings expertise and focused training in ophthalmology.

We also offer on-site MRI and CT capabilities to support advanced diagnostics and timely treatment.

Home to Arkansas’s First and Only Veterinary Blood Bank

Our in-house Veterinary Blood Bank- The Animal Blood Bank of NWA supplies plasma and packed red blood cells to our patients and clinics throughout Northwest Arkansas and the Alliance network. As a Criticalist, you’ll have immediate access to lifesaving transfusion products when seconds matter.

K9 Trauma Response Program

We proudly train local K9 police units in field trauma response and supply them with complete trauma kits, helping protect the working dogs that protect our communities.

A Strong, Skilled Support Team

We are proud to employ a large team of dedicated Certified Veterinary Technicians, including multiple CVTs pursuing ECC certification. You'll work alongside a cohesive and highly trained staff that allows you to focus on your expertise.

Community-Centered and Mission-Driven

We’re deeply engaged with local rescues, shelters, and community outreach — because our impact extends beyond our clinic walls.

What You’ll Enjoy

Flexible daytime schedule with limited weekends

Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

Support from ER clinicians, specialists, and highly skilled technicians

A robust caseload with opportunity for mentorship and growth

A positive, fun-loving culture built on respect, collaboration, and clinical excellence

Outdoor adventures in four nearby state parks

Whether you're a nature lover, foodie, or culture seeker, you'll find your place in NWA.
