A well-established small animal hospital in San Diego is looking to add an Associate Veterinarian to its clinical team. This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to practice quality medicine in a supportive environment with genuine autonomy and excellent infrastructure behind them.
The role suits a vet who enjoys a varied GP caseload, values efficiency in practice, and wants to be well supported day-to-day without being micromanaged.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Up to $200,000 salary depending on experience
- 4:1 support staff ratio allowing you to focus on clinical work
- Flexible schedule designed around sustainability and balance
- No Sundays
- Strong, experienced nursing and support team
- Modern hospital with up-to-date diagnostics and equipment
- Established and loyal client base
- Clinical autonomy with supportive leadership
The Practice
This is a busy but well-organised small animal hospital with a strong reputation in the local area. The team works collaboratively and values clear communication, consistency, and high clinical standards.
You will see a broad GP caseload including preventative care, internal medicine, dentistry, and routine surgical work, with the ability to develop areas of interest over time.
What They're Looking For
- DVM or equivalent eligible to practice in California
- Confident communicator with clients and colleagues
- Team-oriented approach
- Commitment to high-quality patient care
- All experience levels considered, support available for development
Why San Diego?
