About The Position

Angell West is seeking a full-time or part-time Staff Cardiologist Veterinarian for their busy and growing hospital located in Waltham, MA. Angell West is a satellite hospital of Angell Animal Medical Center, an emergency, referral, and primary care hospital with over a century of operation in Boston. This position offers a unique opportunity to join a well-known and respected practice at a non-corporate, non-profit, referral hospital. The role is ideal for an individual seeking a smaller hospital-based setting with a busy clinical cardiology practice, where the caseload is generated through appointments, in-house referral, the emergency service, and referrals from community practices. The cardiology service has historically operated at capacity with significant wait times, and a new cardiologist is expected to quickly build a caseload. Angell West is operated by the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), a non-profit, values-based organization focused on client service, patient care, and life-work balance. The hospital emphasizes collaboration, compassion, excellence, integrity, positivity, and service, with a culture of continual improvement.
