Veterinary Criticalist

Colorado Animal Specialty & Emergency (CASE)

Colorado Animal Specialty & Emergency (CASE) is a large, multi-specialty, emergency and referral institution in beautiful Boulder, CO seeking a hospital-based, board-certified or residency-trained Veterinary Criticalist (ECC) to join our highly specialized, friendly, and skilled team.

• Advanced ICU capabilities built to match the complexity of cases you'll see: mechanical ventilation, high-flow oxygen therapy, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), and hemofiltration — this isn't a department improvising with basic support, it's one equipped for your sickest, most complex patients
• Extracorporeal therapies program on-site, including hemodialysis, giving criticalists a full toolkit for renal and toxin cases without needing to refer out
• Robust in-house laboratory with digital cytology and viscoelastic coagulation monitoring, so you get real-time diagnostic answers instead of waiting on send-outs during time-sensitive cases
• 4-way float radiography table, MRI, CT-adjacent imaging support, and ultrasound readily available for critical patients requiring rapid diagnostics
• Collegial, tightly integrated specialty team — Surgery, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Nephrology/Urology, Ophthalmology, Dentistry & Oral Surgery — all under one roof, meaning true collaborative case management rather than working in a silo
• Cardiologist and Anesthesiologist joining the team in September; currently also hiring for Surgical Oncology
• High standard of care already established, with hospital leadership dedicated to supporting continued excellence in critical care
• Department leadership opportunities available immediately for the right candidate
• Supportive fee structure that allows criticalists to realize production goals

• A beautiful, 52,000 sq. ft. hospital, built in 2021, with an expansive, light-filled, modern layout
• Advanced tools and treatments on-site: linear accelerator, hemodialysis, endoscopy, in-house lab, subcutaneous ureteral bypass, water treadmill, therapeutic and surgical lasers, minimally invasive procedures including laparoscopy and thoracoscopy, vascular interventions, and more
• Rotating and specialty internship program, currently training 3 surgical interns and 7 rotating interns — meaning you'll have real support and teaching opportunities, not just extra hands
• Close collaboration with Ethos Discovery, actively contributing to six clinical trials on-site
• Participation in specialty college governance and committees welcomed and supported

Personal and professional development is fully supported — continuing education, research contributions, specialty-college participation and leadership are all part of the culture here, not just a line in the job description.

Nestled at the base of the Rockies and just 30 minutes from Denver, Boulder offers a unique blend of small-town charm, outdoor adventure, and urban perks. Enjoy 300+ days of sunshine, 24 local breweries, hiking trails, skiing, and a vibrant cultural scene.

• Competitive base salary-$175,000- $200,000, commensurate with experience and desired working commitment
• Prosal compensation model with monthly production bonus, transparent production reports, and no negative accrual
