Full-Time Associate Veterinarian - Washington, DC
About The Position
IndeVets is seeking a full-time Associate Veterinarian to practice great medicine without sacrificing life outside the clinic. This role offers a reimagined approach to veterinary medicine with sustainable career paths, putting veterinarians in control of their schedules and guaranteeing their 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. IndeVets handles 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.
