ABOUT VEG
In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. Since then, we've expanded across the U.S. and into Canada, with hospitals open 24/7, 365 days a year. At VEG we do things differently, from having open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of all kinds (even exotics!), to creating an emergency experience that gives customers and patients the care they deserve.
We've also created a better experience for everyone who works here—our VEGgies! We find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. Yes to working in an environment where you can find your place and feel valued for the amazing work you do. Yes to having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship so you can grow where you want to go in your career.
And yes to having a voice—and the support—to make an impact here in ways you never thought possible.
THE JOB
As a Veterinary Sonographer, your focus is on ultrasound support for VEG hospitals and training facilities. This means working closely with our emergency doctors to provide same‑day ultrasound scans for pets when they need it most. You'll deal with a variety of patient types and scans, so being comfortable adapting to new scenarios and willing to learn new techniques and think outside the box are all part of your day‑to‑day.
You'll also assist in coordinating education opportunities and overall ultrasound training for your home and regional hospitals, inspire and motivate your fellow VEGgies to grow their ultrasound skills, and be ready to pitch in at the hospital whenever and wherever needed.

Track doctor and nursing team skills with a VEG Ultrasound Certificate checklist
Engage in self‑reflection and program evaluation practices to modify and enhance VEG's ultrasound training programs
Regularly meet with the medical directors, nursing trainer, and director of radiology education to discuss program development, training objectives, and additional needs
Regularly meet with the hospital manager and medical director to discuss implementation of new training protocols, training schedules, hospital training needs, and interpersonal concerns
Coordinate weekly schedule to work on the floor shifts with the hospital manager and medical director and dedicate time to training responsibilities
May assist in developing ultrasound curriculum material, such as Power Points, videos, simulations, and assessments to be implemented across the doctor and nursing team training programs
May provide educational demonstrations for doctors and support staff at other VEGs, including ultrasound topics such as abdominal, thoracic, cardiac, cervical, and musculoskeletal studies
