Are you an experienced Emergency Veterinarian looking for a supportive team, a diverse emergency caseload, and a schedule that gives you plenty of time away from the hospital?

Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic (HVEC) in Barrie, Ontario, is looking for a full-time Emergency Veterinarian to join our established 24/7 emergency team. We are ideally looking for an experienced ER veterinarian who is confident managing hospitalized and ICU patients while also supporting outpatient emergency cases.

This is an important senior role within our team. You’ll often take primary responsibility for our ICU while providing clinical support and mentorship to newer emergency veterinarians and working closely with our experienced RVT and support teams.

At Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic, our greatest strength is our people.

Our team includes 18 DVMs, 25 RVTs, and 22 support team members, bringing extensive experience in emergency medicine, surgery, anesthesia, critical care, and progressive general practice. We’re proud of the longevity of our team, with our leadership group having each been with HVEC for more than 15 years.

We believe emergency medicine takes a team. No one is expected to face the difficult days alone. Whether it’s helping with a critical patient, supporting a colleague through a challenging case, or simply checking in after a tough shift, our team genuinely looks out for one another.

We also believe in developing future talent. Our team provides strong mentorship and hands-on learning opportunities for newer veterinarians while giving experienced clinicians opportunities to continue expanding their skills.

As an Emergency Veterinarian, you’ll see a diverse and rewarding caseload while playing an important role in supporting our hospitalized and critical patients.

• Assessing and treating a wide variety of emergency cases
• Performing emergency soft-tissue surgical procedures
• Supporting outpatient emergency caseloads alongside other DVMs
• Working collaboratively with our experienced RVT and support teams
• Providing clinical guidance and mentorship to newer emergency veterinarians
• Communicating effectively with clients and referring veterinarians
• Working independently and confidently during overnight shifts

Common presentations include trauma, gastrointestinal disease, toxicities, respiratory distress, endocrine emergencies, and other critically ill patients requiring immediate intervention.

We are approximately an hour from the GTA and have access to specialty referral when cases require a higher level of surgical or specialty care.

Our full-time DVM schedule follows a 2-day / 2-night rotation followed by 4 days off:

• 2 day shifts: 8:00 a.m.
  
  - 8:30 p.m.
• 2 night shifts: 8:00 p.m.
  
  - 8:30 a.m.
• 4 days off

During the day and evening, there are generally an additional 1-2 outpatient DVMs in the hospital seeing incoming emergencies until approximately 10:00 p.m. Overnight, you’ll typically be the sole DVM in the hospital, so confidence…
