Description I f you have a passion for urgent care medicine and you are interested in working for a practice that places a priority on the health and harmony of our team and fostering a positive work culture
  • consider joining Animal ER Care
  • Central in Colorado Springs, CO.
We're an independently owned, AAHA-accredited, Urgent Care Clinic, that is a satellite clinic to our North location (Animal ER Care, LLC). Our Central urgent care clinic works in close association with our North emergency care clinic and the associated specialty practices within the Veterinary Specialty Center. Ideal candidates will have 2-3 years of general practice and or emergency practice experience, enthusiastic, and motivated to support our rapidly growing caseload. An interest in exotic pet medicine is a plus but not a requirement. Strong candidates with less than 2-3 years of experience will be considered. Based in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado ( http://www.choosecoloradosprings.com ), AERC-Central is a stand-alone full service urgent care clinic. Urgent care occupies an important space between general practice and emergency medicine. You'll be able to use and expand your diagnostic and procedural skills without necessarily taking on the schedule and intensity associated with traditional overnight emergency practice. For veterinarians coming from general practice, urgent care offers an opportunity to broaden clinical skills and see more challenging cases. For veterinarians with ER experience, it can provide the medicine you enjoy with a more sustainable lifestyle. Our Central Urgent Care location is also a great stepping stone to gather experience with emergency cases in a less intimidating and more controlled environment compared to traditional emergency clinics. When our urgent care patients require specialty services (ultrasound, internal medicine, advanced surgery, etc.) these needs can be accommodated by specialty services available at our North campus. AERC-Main (our North emergency care clinic) resides within the Veterinary Specialty Center (VSC), a 24-hour small-animal specialty hospital fully equipped with endoscopy, bronchoscopy, digital radiology, multiple surgical suites with ventilators, ultrasound, high-flow oxygen, and CT scan. Both our Central and North clinics maintain state-of-the-art veterinary equipment and laboratory, with access to blood chemistry, full differential CBC, coagulation profile (VCM), blood gas analyzers, and Sedivue urinalysis machine, sevoflurane anesthesia, telemetry and patient monitors (ECG, temperature, capnography, pulse oximetry, oscillometric, and direct arterial blood pressure), and therapeutic laser. AERC's urgent care and emergency doctors practice progressive medicine, with both practices having ready access to VSC's board certified veterinary specialists. Our full-time schedule consists of 3x 12 hours shifts per week. The shifts currently encompass day and evening hours (no overnights). Our doctors rotate through weekends and holidays, which allows for desired / requested weekend and holiday time off for all doctors throughout the year. We strive to provide balance for our entire team and attempt to accommodate all reasonable schedule requests. If you enjoy interesting cases, collaborative medicine, and the opportunity to make an immediate difference for patients and their families, we'd love to meet you.
