Associate DVM - Sports Medicine Specialty

EquiStaff • Gilroy, CA

24d • $100,000

About The Position

After years of maintaining a solo, global practice focusing on the highest levels of Equine Sports Medicine, this highly accomplished DVM (ISELP, cVSMT, DABVP +!) is looking to bring on their first associate DVM in the SF Bay Area! Focused on an integrative and holistic approach to equine performance, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an upcoming professional to work closely with one of the most brilliant minds of this generation of DVMs. The practice spans all of the major equestrian disciplines, working closely with local clinics and general practitioners to cover emergency needs and routine wellness care. Currently, this practice operates both Nationally and Internationally, with the goal of finding an Associate DVM who can service clients full-time both under the guidance of the primary DVM and independently. This practice utilizes holistic modalities such as chiropractic, acupuncture, myofascial release, kinesio taping, laser therapy and more, along with Western Medicine practices to approach soundness and performance from the biggest picture possible. Certification(s) in manual therapy, acupuncture, or ISELP would be a major plus, and experience as a competitive equestrian or racetrack veterinarian will be looked on favorably. This position comes with the ability to attend National and International caliber competition with clientele (having previously attended the 2024 Olympic Games as both private and National DVM!), and learn from one of the best in the business while growing a practice from the ground up! We are anticipating this individual will ride along with the Primary DVM for the first year of employment while they are in the US for training and education purposes. Once appropriate (anticipating after first year) a secondary vehicle will be purchased and the Associate will be able to build additional clientele base. For the right individual, this role has the ability to grow into a Partnership after 3-5 years! Note - We are aiming to have this position filled by Fall 2026 , but could potentially begin someone sooner under the right circumstances.
