Looking for an emergency role where you can focus on challenging cases without feeling like you’re handling everything alone?
This opportunity offers the chance to practice emergency medicine in an established, around-the-clock setting with an experienced clinical support team. You’ll see a varied emergency caseload, use your diagnostic and medical skills, and work alongside colleagues who understand the demands of ER practice.
The setting also offers something beyond the hospital: a scenic Virginia location with mountain surroundings, outdoor recreation, and access to larger communities when you want more dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

Room to use your skills: Opportunities to apply and develop your emergency, medical, surgical, and diagnostic abilities.

What You’ll Be Doing
This is a 24/7 emergency practice focused on urgent and critical patient needs. The clinical environment includes in-house laboratory testing, digital radiography, and ultrasound to support diagnostic decision-making.
The role is suited to a veterinarian who enjoys the variety and pace of emergency medicine and values collaboration with veterinary colleagues and technical support staff.
