About this role

You’ll join a curious, supportive ER team that works closely with criticalists, technicians and support staff to give every patient seamless, compassionate care. Workups move quickly with prompt specialist input, and with rotating interns on the team, you’ll teach and learn alongside them every day.

Your caseload is diverse companion animal emergency and critical care, with a balanced mix of:

• Receiving new emergency cases and triaging incoming patients
• Evaluating, diagnosing and building treatment plans for urgent and emergent conditions
• Performing emergency procedures and stabilizing critically ill or injured patients using evidence-based medicine
• Managing hospitalized patients through their course of treatment
• Communicating clearly and with empathy with pet owners during stressful, emotional moments

We’re seeking full-time or part-time experienced emergency veterinarians. Full-time doctors work 10 to 12 shifts a month and part-time doctors 6 to 9, on a balanced rotation of day, swing and overnight shifts. If you like overnights, an overnight-exclusive ER role is an option, with a higher salary and bonus structure. You can also pick up open shifts across all 5 SAGE ER and specialty hospitals, each within a 45-minute drive across the Bay Area, for added flexible income.

• A passion for continuous learning, teamwork and advancing emergency veterinary medicine
• Confidence managing emergency cases in a fast-paced environment
