About us
At Pioneer Equine Hospital, you can enjoy the professional autonomy and relationships of ambulatory equine practice while having the resources of an advanced referral hospital behind you. Our culture combines collaborative private practice with experienced veterinarians, interns, technicians and hospital staff who are available when you need another perspective, additional diagnostics or referral-level care.
We value high-quality medicine, strong client relationships and giving veterinarians the support and freedom to continue developing their own clinical interests. Pioneer Equine Hospital is part of the National Veterinary Associates community.
Dr McClure has been truly exceptional in every way! She is the best equine vet you could ever hope to find. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, professional, a great communicator, and so dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your horse! I have so much respect, admiration, and gratitude for all that she has done for me and my horse. The entire team there is absolutely top notch!! – Suzanne R – Google Review
About this role
You will primarily work in the field, serving our established and growing East Bay clientele approximately 45 minutes from the hospital. Your caseload will offer plenty of variety, spanning preventive care, sports medicine, reproduction, dentistry and emergency work, with scope to continue developing areas that particularly interest you.
A fully equipped veterinary vehicle is provided, with digital radiography, ultrasound, gastroscopy, point-of-care diagnostics and orthobiologics available in the field. When a case needs more, you will also have access to the hospital’s advanced diagnostics, surgery and referral services, together with the experience of the wider Pioneer team.
The position currently carries approximately 50% of the on-call responsibility, although the emergency caseload is presently light. As the East Bay caseload grows, additional associates are expected to join the team, reducing the individual share of on-call responsibilities.
About you
You enjoy the variety and independence that come with ambulatory equine practice, while valuing the opportunity to collaborate when a case benefits from additional expertise. Building trusted relationships with clients matters to you, and you take pride in providing thoughtful, high-quality care across a broad caseload.
You may already be an experienced equine practitioner looking for greater autonomy and strong hospital support, or a newer veterinarian keen to build your confidence and capabilities alongside experienced colleagues. Either way, there is room here to develop your own areas of clinical interest while maintaining the breadth that makes equine practice rewarding.
