Full-Time Associate Veterinarian - Columbus, OH
About The Position
IndeVets is seeking a full-time Associate Veterinarian to practice great medicine without sacrificing life outside the clinic. We offer a sustainable career path with control over your schedule and guaranteed income, backed by hands-on support and a trusted community. As a full-time W-2 veterinarian working 4–5 days per week, you’ll build a schedule you control by choosing the days you want to work. Your schedule is built in advance around those preferences by a dedicated scheduling coordinator, giving you the clarity and predictability to plan your life outside the clinic. We handle scheduling, logistics, and coordination, so you can focus on practicing medicine. You’ll have a guaranteed salary as your foundation, with the option to earn even more by picking up additional shifts when it works for you. Extra shifts can be paid out or converted into additional PTO, giving you flexibility in how you’re rewarded. You’ll practice across a network of trusted hospital partners, building meaningful relationships with teams while gaining diverse clinical experience. Interested in surgery, dentistry, ER, or urgent care? We’ll work to include those types of shifts in your schedule when possible. At the same time, you’ll have the consistency, benefits, and professional support of a full-time employer. This model offers no chasing shifts, no income uncertainty, and no last-minute schedule gaps, providing a structured, sustainable way to practice veterinary medicine full-time, with the support and stability to make it last. You will practice independently but never be on your own, with dedicated medical leadership and mentorship, a collaborative community of fellow veterinarians, and access to a veterinary social worker. Ongoing CE and professional development opportunities are also provided.
