Veterinarian

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

hospitals / specialty practices for case transfer, discussion, and guidance
