There is also a one time $1,000 computer allowance as our new practice Infinity program is live with the clinic computers in real time, which is an amazing improvement and quite helpful to the Drs. We have a private text program so that the Drs., staff, and managers can communicate easily. The call list with all the information is emailed to us the night before and each Drs. computer is live with the clinic computer system. There are 4 exam rooms, treatment and x-ray room, surgery center, three kennel rooms, isolation room, offices, staff lunch lounge, and lab. The clinic has a haul in equine facility with draft and regular stocks, box stall, surgery area, large round pen, and drive through for up to 3 mobile units at a time. There is a facility that is used as a surgery center, staff lunch and learn, and extern housing. Our phone system gives our client callers LA, SA, Lab and medication, and billing choices which puts them in touch with the appropriate person to handle their call. John (real person), our answer service man is great at screening calls to eliminate unnecessary night emergencies. Those unnecessary night emergencies have also been greatly reduced by substantially increasing the emergency fee and limiting emergency hrs. from 3pm to 9pm.. The Drs. have the option to send the small animal emergencies to an emergency clinic if they so choose, though techs are available to come in and it is quite lucrative for the attending doctor to see SA emergencies at the clinic.
The six week emergency rotation amounts to one Sunday in 6, two Saturdays in 6, one weeknight/wk. on duty with numerous days off during the week in 6 weeks. After working the Sunday there is Monday and Tuesday off, After working Saturday there is the following 4 day weekend - Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. There is also a Monday off making an additional 3 day weekend in 6 weeks. Also trading duty with another Dr. to avoid a day off you need counting against your vacation day total is common. Hooking vacation days to days off also extends those long weekends into mini vacations. Every year two of the Drs. have no holiday duty.
We are very family oriented and scheduling is mapped out a year in advance so a Dr. can make definitive time off plans and be assured they won’t be asked to change them.
Consider this offer carefully and contact me if you have questions. If you are interested I will arrange a visit to our clinic.
