Hershey Animal Emergency Center is a new 24/7/365 ER facility which opened in June of 2023. We are searching for a full time or part time dayshift or overnight experienced ER veterinarian to join our team.
Our privately owned hospital focuses on providing compassionate, quality emergency care to our community. Teamwork, camaraderie, and a great work life balance are very important to us. We currently have 11 veterinarians and over 50 support staff and are continuing to grow.
Our hospital is equipped with new modern equipment, full Idexx in house laboratory, 2 EPOCs, digital xray, 2 ultrasound machines, 4 Snyder ICU oxygen cages, a special procedure room for ultrasound and endoscopy, ligasure machine with electrocautery and vessel sealers, Digital cytology machine for specialist read reports within 2 hours, separate cat and dog ICU wards, ventilator, in house blood bank and Instinct practice management system which includes fully electronic whiteboard/treatment sheets.
Our awesome ER technicians place nasogastric tubes, sampling lines, central lines, catheterize female dogs/cats, place fecal foley catheters, monitor blood/plasma transfusions, and are recover CPR certified. Our technician/Dr ratio averages 4:1 on dayshift and 6:1 on overnight. We pride ourselves on appropriate staffing to allow for excellent patient care. This means our inpatient nurses average only 3-4 inpatients/nurse. We have 2-3 Drs on all shifts to allow for teamwork with difficult cases.
We offer excellent pay dependent on experience and shift preference, paid maternity leave, a flexible schedule, shared holidays, great benefits including relocation stipend, above average PTO, 3% matching IRA, VECC/VIN/Atdove paid memberships, health/dental/eye insurance and the cherry on top: free unlimited ice cream while at work (we are located next to an ice cream shop).
Our Full time Doctors are scheduled for 3, 12 hour shifts per week. We use AI scribes to allow our doctors to complete their notes efficiently, allowing them to leave when their shift is over.
For candidates traveling to us, we have an overnight 2 room suite that is separate from the hospital.
