Associate Veterinarian

Introduction

Our client is a well-established animal hospital based in East Memphis, Tennessee, seeking a full-time Associate Veterinarian to join their compassionate and experienced team. This AAHA-accredited and AAFP Cat Friendly Certified hospital has been proudly serving its community for years, offering high-quality, comprehensive care for cats and dogs in a welcoming and supportive environment. With a strong focus on personalized medicine, client education, and collaboration, this is an excellent opportunity for a veterinarian who values both clinical excellence and a positive team culture.

The hospital is open Monday and Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Tuesday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The hospital is closed on weekends, allowing for a strong work‑life balance. This is a full‑time position, structured as a four‑day work week with no after‑hours or on‑call duties. The schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, ensuring doctors have time to recharge outside of work.

The Associate Veterinarian will provide comprehensive, high‑quality care across all areas of general practice, including preventative medicine, dentistry, surgery, internal medicine, and urgent care. The position offers an excellent balance of autonomy and teamwork, with opportunities to pursue individual clinical interests and specializations. The hospital strongly encourages case workups and provides access to specialist referrals when needed. This role is open to both experienced veterinarians, with customised mentorship programmes available for early‑career doctors.

The ideal candidate is a compassionate team player with strong communication skills and a genuine passion for providing exceptional patient care.

The hospital operates from a 10,000‑square‑foot, state‑of‑the‑art facility designed to support the highest standards of veterinary medicine. The practice features digital general and dental radiology, ultrasound, a fully equipped surgical suite with advanced monitoring, an in‑house laboratory, cold laser therapy, a dedicated dental suite, an on‑site pharmacy, and paperless medical records. With six exam rooms – including two feline‑only spaces – the hospital offers a calm and organised environment for both patients and staff.

The hospital's culture is defined by teamwork, open communication, and a commitment to continual learning and professional growth.

The hospital's veterinary team consists of two experienced doctors supported by a brilliant, skilled, and long‑tenured group of technicians and assistants. Many of the support team members have been with the hospital for years, creating a strong sense of camaraderie and continuity. The environment is collaborative and mentorship‑focused, where doctors are encouraged to share ideas, pursue their interests, and contribute to an atmosphere of respect, trust, and shared success.
