Associate Veterinarian for Progressive AAHA Practice - Rapid City, United States - Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic
Description
Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic, an AAHA-accredited, 4.5-doctor veterinary practice in Rapid City, South Dakota is looking to add an additional associate veterinarian to our team. Our ideal candidate will be highly motivated, excel at communication, be progressive and willing to learn, and buy in to our high standard of care. While experience is preferred, we are happy to provide mentorship and recent graduates will be considered and are encouraged to apply.
Our veterinarians are supported by an exceptional, team oriented technical staff. Sample collection and processing, radiographs, anesthetic monitoring, intravenous catheter placement, surgical preparation and assistance, assistance in examination rooms, filling and billing, and care of hospitalized patients during the day and overnight are all part of our technicians' duties. This allows our doctors to focus on veterinary duties of examination and development of diagnostic and treatment plans.
We are well-equipped with digital radiology including dental, laparoscopy, arthroscopy, rhinoscopy, endoscopy, Ligasure, Ellman surgery unit, full Idexx/Cornerstone laboratory, multiple anesthetic monitors and warming units, sevoflurane, fluid pumps, separate feline and canine hospitalization wards, and full pharmacy. We are 5 hours to the closest referral hospital so, in addition to general practice, our veterinarians have developed many additional skills including orthopedics (CBLO and fracture repair), echo and abdominal ultrasound, and numerous other soft tissue surgeries. We also have a dedicated rehabilitation room with underwater treadmill. We perform many dental and extraction procedures and have a boarded veterinary dentist that works out of our practice as needed.
We utilize the local emergency clinic after hours, but we staff an overnight technician to care for our hospitalized patients. We are open six days per week (closed Sunday) and work 18-19 days per month. While our clinicians are dedicated, we appreciate time away from work and a good work/life balance. The Black Hills and Rapid City, South Dakota provide endless opportunity for outdoor recreation. Rapid City is a great community in which to work, play and live.
Our associates are compensated with a base salary based on experience plus a percentage of gross. Benefits include medical, dental, liability, disability, paid personal leave, continuing education, matching IRA, and multiple professional memberships based on interests. Full-time and part-time positions will be considered.
We ask interested veterinarians to please email cover letter and resume or CV.
