  • Eligibility to practise veterinary medicine in California with the appropriate professional licensing.
  • Strong clinical judgement and proficiency in the diagnosis and management of complex cardiovascular conditions.
  • An approachable and collaborative working style, with the confidence to manage specialist cases independently.
  • Commitment to ongoing clinical education and maintaining contemporary standards in veterinary cardiology.

Package:

  • Attractive base compensation complemented by additional production-based earning opportunities.
  • Comprehensive medical insurance options designed to accommodate individual healthcare preferences.
  • Employer-supported retirement savings through a 401(k) matching programme.
  • Professional memberships, licensing fees and continuing education expenses supported.
  • Generous paid leave provisions encouraging a healthy balance between professional and personal commitments.
  • Complimentary life insurance and short-term disability protection included.
  • Access to advanced diagnostic facilities and opportunities to influence developing specialist services.
  • Additional voluntary insurance benefits, including dental, vision and other personal coverage options.
