Internal Relief Veterinarian | Twin Cities Metro | $90-$110/Hour + Mileage

Full-Time Benefits Starting at Just 30 Hours/Week

Lakefield Veterinary Group is looking for a Full-Time Internal Relief Veterinarian to join our Twin Cities Metro Area team.

Want the variety of relief medicine without giving up the stability and benefits of a full-time position?

This could be the perfect fit.

As an Internal Relief Veterinarian with Lakefield, you'll have the opportunity to work across multiple established hospitals throughout the 7-county Twin Cities Metro Area, giving you variety in your day-to-day practice while building relationships with different veterinary teams.

Even better, you'll have a voice in your schedule. You'll work directly with experienced Regional Operations Specialists to build a schedule that works for you, with all or most shifts scheduled well in advance. And because you're traveling between Lakefield hospitals, mileage reimbursement is provided.

Why Choose Internal Relief?

Flexibility without sacrificing stability.

• $90-$110/hour + mileage reimbursement
• Full-time benefits starting at just 30 hours/week
• Help set your schedule with our Regional Operations team
• Shifts are typically scheduled well in advance

• Collaborate with experienced DVMs and support teams
• No need to build your own relief clientele or constantly search for your next shift
• The support and resources of a family-owned veterinary group behind you

What You'll Do

Every hospital and every day can look a little different, but your role may include:

• Performing wellness, sick, and urgent care examinations
• Diagnosing and treating a variety of medical conditions
• Performing surgeries and dental procedures
• Developing and communicating treatment plans with clients
• Providing high-quality preventative and medical care
• Collaborating with DVMs, technicians, and support teams
• Maintaining accurate medical records
