There is no "typical" day.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love collaboration and autonomy, and want to be part of a team that works best together - and if you like the idea that no two days will ever look the same - we’ve got the team for you.

Everything we do here is emergency medicine. There are no routine GP appointments. Every shift is built around triage, diagnostics, patient care, decision-making, critical thinking, and a whole lot of teamwork.

Our RVTs work side-by-side with our emergency DVMs to provide patient care year-round. You aren’t simply completing tasks or handing patients off - you are an integral part of the case from start to finish.

With limited specialty services available within the Okanagan Valley, our ER DVMs and RVTs have the opportunity to work at the top of their training and scope and truly follow cases through their entire hospital journey.

Fairfield sees 300+ cases every week, ranging from urgent presentations to true emergencies, including toxicities, HBCs, major trauma, animal attacks, rattlesnake bites, respiratory emergencies, GDV, and everything in between.

Our RVTs are involved throughout the entire process - from triage and initial assessment to patient care, diagnostics, anesthesia monitoring, treatment, recovery, discharge, and everything in between.

You’ll see cases you may never encounter in a GP setting. You’ll make decisions, build your skills, support your DVMs and teammates, and have the opportunity to genuinely make a difference for patients and their families.

And tomorrow? It could be completely different.

That’s the point.

At Fairfield, we don’t promise you a typical day.

We promise you a team, a challenge, and the opportunity to keep learning.
