Huffard

Animal Hospital in Pasadena, MD, is looking for an Associate

Veterinarian to join their growing

team!

Snapshot of

Our Practice : Our motto is

Compassion. Care. Commitment - applicable to both our client / pet

community and within our own team

Prioritization of the balance between providing exemplary

veterinary care to our community while safeguarding our own mental

health and work-life balance

Colleagues

include experienced / established veterinarians alongside more

recently graduated doctors, thereby providing access to both

tried-and-true medicine and techniques as well as cutting-edge

recommendations—truly the best of both worlds

Collaborative approach among our doctors that extends from case

load and problem-solving to last-minute schedule

adjustments / trades, as needed

Our practice is a well-established and dynamic small animal

hospital located between the Baltimore and Annapolis metropolitan

areas. We are seeking a proficient veterinarian interested in

practicing quality medicine among a team of friendly, professional,

and fun-loving staff! At Huffard Animal Hospital, we pride

ourselves on being a diverse mixture of respected and reputable

doctors / staff as well as fresh team members enthusiastically at the

start of their careers. In addition to providing a high standard of

care, it is important to our team that prospective candidates show

willingness to laugh at the sillies, share comfort during the tough

times, and help the team continue to advance our skills, knowledge,

and capabilities.

About the Opportunity :

Combination

of general practice caseload (scheduled wellness visits,

sick / injured appointments, and surgeries / dentals) as well as a

limited quota of same-day-sick visits shared daily among the

doctoral team

“Flex Hour” daily on weekdays as

a buffer that is free from scheduled appointments – this helps

ensure lunch is eaten, the workload remains contained within

reasonable working hours, and that nursing mothers can be confident

they will have time to tend to their needs

case transfer, discussion, and guidance
