Associate Veterinarian duties include:
- Examination and diagnosis.
- Treatment of injuries, disorders and diseases.
- Performing surgery.
- Maintaining medical records.
Associate veterinarians can also be required to perform everyday tasks, including inventory checks.
As an Associate Veterinarian, you’ll continue to learn while you work and will be mentored by the senior practitioners.
