Emergency Veterinarian
Bay Area Pet Hospital in Traverse City, Michigan is looking for part-time and full time emergency veterinarians.
Bay Area Pet Hospital is a privately owned emergency referral hospital. We opened in 2010 after seeing the need for a round the clock critical care hospital in our rapidly growing community. With the support of many local referring clinics, we see emergency and critical care cases from across Northern Michigan.
Over the last eight years our hospital has expanded considerably.
We currently employee five Full Time Veterinarians with twenty full time support staff members, seven of which are licensed LVTs. We have recently upgraded our DR technology, resulting in 50% less radiation for pets and our staff than traditional DR. Our full in house lab allows rapid results to aid in you diagnosis and treatment plans.
The Traverse City area is a beautiful small town located on Grand Traverse Bay (part of Lake Michigan). We are considered a vacation town by much of the state and many of the locals see no reason to ever leave. It is home to Northern Michigan College, dozens of beaches, lakes, rivers, hiking trails and both downhill and Nordic skiing. It is a huge foodie town and boasts dozens of microbreweries, many of which can be reached by water via the "Paddle for Pints" route.
The full time emergency veterinarian position is scheduled 3 overnight shifts per week. This position is responsible for monitoring of hospitalized inpatients and treating incoming emergencies, including emergency surgeries and procedures.
The part time emergency position would involve two to three day shifts per week and would include every other weekend. Experience with ultrasound is preferred for the doctor covering this position.
Benefits of working with us include a flexible schedule, colleagues that help each other both with cases and with shift swaps, and an outstandingly knowledgeable and technically skilled support staff that makes coming to work fun. We also offer a competitive salary, generous CE allowance and PTO, paid vacation time and sick days. We cover the cost of VIN membership, state licensing and DEA license dues. Health insurance (medical, dental, and vision) is also available.
Requirements for this position include a knowledge and passion for emergency and critical care medicine, the ability to communicate clearly and compassionately with our clients, and the ability to delegate tasks to your support staff. At least one year of emergency or internship experience is preferred. Motivated new graduates will be considered.
