ER Job Description
Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine (CHVM) is currently seeking an emergency veterinarian to join
our growing team! We have availability for full and part-time positions.
CHVM is the ONLY privately owned Emergency/Specialty Hospital of this size in the state of Connecticut,
with locations in North Haven and Guilford. We are a Level 1 VECCS certified facility and we provide
emergency veterinary care 24/7/365. Our emergency service sees a mix of both referrals and primary
opinion cases, with a varied caseload that keeps things interesting! Our 11 ER doctors are supported by
a robust team of specialists including internal medicine, anesthesia, critical care, cardiology, radiology,
surgery, exotics, medical oncology, ophthalmology, interventional radiology, neurology, and sports
medicine/rehabilitation.
Our ICU in North Haven is staffed 7 days a week, including weekends and
holidays, by 3 critical care specialists, allowing ER doctors to focus on primary receiving of emergency
cases. We have a commitment to mental health and work-life balance for all staff, reflected in flexible
scheduling and generous PTO. ER clinicians also have no on call responsibilities and can enjoy a flexible
3-4 day work week. We have a great group of caring, team-oriented, positive individuals with a
commitment to practicing the highest quality of medicine in a busy, referral setting.
The emergency veterinarian will be responsible for providing care to both referral and walk in
emergency cases- our North Haven location sees cats, dogs, and exotic species while Guilford sees only
cats/dogs. The emergency veterinarian is responsible for triaging, diagnosing, treating, and hospitalizing
or discharging emergency cases. Our emergency doctors work closely with our referring veterinarians to
ensure continuity and high quality care for our mutual patients.

• A competitive base salary plus production- ranging from 130k-240k
