Whether you want to work one day a week or five,you choose the days that work for you while receiving a biweekly salary, benefits, and dedicated scheduling support — so your career finally works for your life, not the other way around. How It Works As a full-time W-2 veterinarian you work 4-5 days per week OR as a part-time W-2 veterinarian you work 1-3 days per week. Build a schedule you control by choosing the days you want to work. Your schedule is built in advance around those preferences by a dedicated scheduling coordinator, giving you the clarity and predictability to plan your life outside the clinic. We handle scheduling, logistics, and coordination, so you can focus on practicing medicine. You'll have a guaranteed salary as your foundation, with the option to earn even more by picking up additional shifts when it works for you. Extra shifts can be paid out or converted into additional PTO, giving you flexibility in how you're rewarded. You'll practice across a network of trusted hospital partners, building meaningful relationships with teams while gaining diverse clinical experience. Interested in surgery, dentistry, ER, or urgent care? We'll work to include those types of shifts in your schedule when possible. At the same time, you'll have the consistency, benefits, and professional support of a full-time employer. No chasing shifts. No income uncertainty. No last-minute schedule gaps.
