Additional Hospital Information & Who We are Looking For:

Associate Veterinarian - Growth Opportunity | Greater Omaha, NE

• Interest In: Small-animal general practice, preventative and wellness care, internal medicine, dentistry, surgery, diagnostic workups, senior medicine, pain management, behavioral medicine, urgent cases, and compassionate client communication. Val Verde also sees a variety of pocket pets, creating an additional opportunity for veterinarians who enjoy or would like to gain exposure to medicine beyond traditional dogs and cats.
• Full-Time Growth Opportunity: We're excited to add another full-time Associate Veterinarian to our team as Val Verde continues to grow! This is an opportunity to join an established Greater Omaha practice with more than two decades of history in the community while becoming an important part of its next chapter. Whether you're a new graduate looking for the right environment to launch your career or an experienced veterinarian searching for a collaborative practice where you can continue growing your clinical interests, we'd love to connect.
• New Graduates Welcome: Your first position after veterinary school should give you the opportunity to build confidence not expect you to know everything on day one. New graduates have access to our structured, one-year mentorship program, including a dedicated Clinical Mentor with intentional schedule overlap, regular mentor meetings, goal-setting workshops, virtual learning opportunities, and soft-skill coaching focused on communication and professional development.

Before entering practice, you'll also have opportunities to strengthen your hands-on skills through our 5-day Surgical Mentorship Program, offered year-round in a small-group setting where participants typically complete approximately 20-40 surgeries with individualized instruction. New graduates also have access to a 2-day Dental Wet Lab at our Flower Mound Dental Training Facility, led by our own veterinary dental specialist and focused on building confidence in everyday dentistry.

Our goal is simple: give you the support to grow into an independent, confident veterinarian while still giving you room to develop your own style of practicing medicine.

• Experienced Veterinarians: Experienced doctors will find the autonomy to practice high-quality medicine while joining a team that values collaboration and continued professional growth. In addition to generous CE support, you'll have access to our Clinical Tracks Program, offering complimentary RACE-approved CE facilitated by veterinary specialists within our network.

Have a special interest? Let's talk about how we can help make it a larger part of your everyday practice.

• Broad Medical & Surgical Caseload: Val Verde offers care extending well beyond routine wellness. The hospital's services include internal medicine, dentistry, surgery, ultrasound, radiology, an on-site laboratory, pain management, cancer treatment, behavioral medicine, laser therapy, preventative medicine, senior care, nutritional counseling, and urgent/emergency presentations. That variety creates an engaging caseload for an experienced doctor while giving a newer veterinarian exposure to many different areas of medicine as their confidence grows.
• Client Education & Relationship-Focused Medicine: One of Val Verde's longstanding priorities is personalized care and client education. The team believes pet owners should understand what's happening medically and feel informed when making decisions for their pets. Doctors take the time to perform thorough exams, answer questions, explain treatment options, and build lasting relationships with the families they serve.
• Supportive, Experienced Team: Join an established team that includes experienced veterinarians and veterinary support professionals who understand the value of working together. We want our doctors to have the support they need to focus on medicine, communicate with clients, work through challenging cases, and deliver an excellent patient experience.
• Diagnostics & Clinical Resources: With on-site laboratory capabilities, radiology, ultrasound, surgical services, dentistry, laser therapy, and a fully stocked pharmacy, Val Verde provides doctors with resources to work through a wide variety of cases directly within the hospital.
• Patient Mix: Val Verde cares for dogs, cats, and a variety of small mammals and pocket pets, including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, mice, and rats. Experience with pocket pets is not required, but the caseload provides a unique opportunity for a veterinarian who already enjoys these species or would like to expand their experience.
