The Animal Health Care Center of Hershey in Hershey Pennsylvania is looking for a small animal associate veterinarian to join our team.  We are looking to add to our team of 6 (4.5 FTE) veterinarians and 20+ support team members.  Full time or part time options available. We have all the shiny things you could want as a practicing small animal vet (digital radiography, dental radiography, in-house lab and ultrasound, therapeutic laser, and so on and so forth...) but our intangibles are what make us special.

·      we have team members who stay with us for long periods of time likely because we treat our team members well and let them do their jobs (read: so vets can be vets),

·      as a vet on appointments you typically get 2 technicians/assistants paired with you so once again you can do vet things and they can do tech things,

·      we have a separate pharmacy technician to handle pharmacy meds/refills/inquires,

·      we have a separate treatment technician to handle tech appointments, manage hospitalized cases, and assist with treatments on outpatient procedures,

·      our hospital has 5 examination rooms (4 regular exam rooms and one comfort/consult room with separate outside entrance) making appointment flow efficient, 

·      we don't do on-call (been there done that, we're over it...and an ER center is 2 min away),

·      we have cloud-based computerized medical records,

·      we practice low-stress handling and sedate (orally or injectably) for stressful procedures so our patients don’t hate us and we don’t feel like mean people,

·      we have great clients (they bring us lots of treats)...

·      but like everyone there are some clients that drive us nuts yet we have a management team that is not afraid to let clients know if they're out of line and need to shape up or ship out,

·      our Christmas party is a good time (seriously some of our staff talk about it for months!),

·      we work hard..but also have fun (because who doesn't want to have fun?)

·      our hours are 7AM-6:30PM M-F and Sat AM from 8AM-12PM so no late evening work is expected

·      we have an owner veterinarian who enjoys teaching and mentoring students and would be open to mentoring the motivated new grad or young veterinarian.  Our last hire was a new-grad; she would be willing to talk to you about how mentoring worked for her at our hospital

·      Now for the more boring stuff –

o   we are privately owned and operated

o   salary is via Pro-Sal (no negative accrual) 

o   we pay all the things and have all the perks (license renewals, DEA, VIN/AVMA/PVMA memberships, 100% health insurance for FT employees, Simple IRA with 3% match, prof liability coverage, pet care discounts, access to dental/vision coverage, CE allowances, 3 weeks vacation not including sick-time or time off for CE

o   What we’re looking for in regards to schedule (varies if you’re looking for part time or full time work): one surgery day from ~7:30 am till about 4 pm; up to three 5 hour appointment blocks (PMs are 1-6pm, AMs are 7-12), one Saturday AM a month from 8-12 noon
