Associate Veterinarian

Hunter Veterinary Clinic•Spokane, WA

30d•$100,000 - $165,000•Onsite

About The Position

Practice the Medicine You Went to Veterinary School For. Not every day should look the same. One appointment might be a puppy's first vaccines. The next could be a diabetic ketoacidosis case needing stabilization. Followed by an exploratory surgery. A rabbit dental. An injured owl. Or helping a family through one of the hardest conversations they'll ever have. At Hunter Veterinary Clinic, we believe great veterinary medicine is built on collaboration, curiosity, and continual learning. As a busy general practice with urgent care services, we enjoy the best of both worlds—developing lasting relationships through preventive care while caring for the unexpected medical and surgical cases that challenge us to keep learning. We don't expect every veterinarian to know everything—we expect every veterinarian to be willing to learn, ask questions, and help each other provide the best care possible. Whether you've been practicing for two years or twenty, we believe the best medicine comes from working together. We practice high-quality, evidence-based medicine while embracing spectrum-of-care, recognizing that every family and every patient is different. We believe excellent veterinary care means partnering with clients to develop thoughtful, ethical treatment plans that fit their goals, circumstances, and resources. We're looking for a veterinarian who enjoys working as part of a collaborative team, values continual growth, and is excited to care for a remarkably diverse group of patients.
