Associate Veterinarian
At SCVG we are all about culture.
Inspiring the bond between pets and their people is our mission. Everything we do is with purpose around our mission.
It starts with strong leadership and management and at the core of it developing productive and happy staff who support our veterinarians.
Why are we unique? GP & more, our marketing strategy. We're not a one doctor practice, where the owner has no time to develop and mentor doctors. We're not private equity either, worried about finances all the time. Our focus is on pet care. So we spend time to develop, train, and provide a robust caseload for our staff and doctors. We believe this is what pushes veterinary medicine further.
We are looking for like minded professionals to join So Cal Vet Group.
Starting salary is $150,000.00. We are very focused on continued education and training which we pay for and offer in house. We have state of the art equipment and newly renovated hospitals. All of this is meant to drive doctor productivity and inspire the bond between pets and their people.
