Benefits include paid vacation and continuing education, health insurance and SIMPLE IRA.  No after-hours emergencies.  Competitive salary based on production to equal 25-30% of gross.  We prefer an experienced veterinarian and/or completion of an internship, but will consider recent graduates.  We also prefer training in/knowledge of exotics but will consider canine/feline experience only.  We will consider a mentorship type of setup as well with the right applicant.  Current vet students with interest should try to set up an externship with us as that will make it easier to determine if we are a good match.  We would be ideal for associates who are interested in ABVP specialization as well-- contact us for more information.
