    About us:

    Access Veterinary Care is a veterinary clinic that focuses on providing affordable, accessible care for families in Minnesota. Through community medicine that prioritizes quality, efficiency, and flexible care options, we believe that we can help reduce the burden of medical care and help keep animals with their families.

    What we're looking for:

    Access Veterinary Care has an opportunity for a (C)VT that is looking to practice medicine in a dynamic setting. We are an urgent care clinic that provides affordable care on an out-patient basis.
