Lakefield Veterinary Group is looking for a Full-Time Internal Relief Veterinarian to join our Twin Cities Metro Area team.

Want the variety of relief medicine without giving up the stability and benefits of a full-time position?

This could be the perfect fit.

As an Internal Relief Veterinarian with Lakefield, you'll have the opportunity to work across multiple established hospitals throughout the 7-county Twin Cities Metro Area, giving you variety in your day‑to‑day practice while building relationships with different veterinary teams.

Even better, you'll have a voice in your schedule. You'll work directly with experienced Regional Operations Specialists to build a schedule that works for you, with all or most shifts scheduled well in advance. And because you're traveling between Lakefield hospitals, mileage reimbursement is provided.

• Diagnosing and treating a variety of medical conditions
• Performing surgeries and dental procedures
• Developing and communicating treatment plans with clients
• Providing high‑quality preventative and medical care
• Collaborating with DVMs, technicians, and support teams

We're a family‑owned veterinary group that believes great medicine happens when veterinary teams have the support they need and the autonomy to practice medicine thoughtfully.
