The Susan M. Markel Veterinary Hospital is one of only a handful of facilities in the country pioneering a true access-to-care model. We meet people where they are, delivering quality, accessible veterinary medicine to pets who often have nowhere else to go.

Our goal is simple:

keep pets healthy, in their homes, and out of shelters.

Practice Mission-Focused Medicine:

Your success is measured by the lives you impact, not the inventory you move. There are no sales targets or production-based quotas.

No Financial Euthanasia:

We practice medicine aligned with our no-kill philosophy. We don't let economic hardship stand in the way of lifesaving care.

Boundaries:

When your shift ends, you go home. Enjoy your evenings and weekends. What You Will Do As an Associate Veterinarian, you will work alongside a collaborative team of skilled doctors, licensed veterinary technicians, and dedicated support staff to provide wellness, sick, and urgent care.

Provide physical exams, develop treatment plans for illness, and perform sterilizations and other routine surgeries, dentals, and soft tissue procedures.

Diagnostics & Records:

Interpret routine diagnostics (including radiography) and maintain thorough, accurate medical records.

Act as a flexible and collaborative resource across our entire veterinary services ecosystem, providing backup and operational support as needed to our HQHVSN clinic or shelter medicine team as dynamic organizational needs arise.

Licensed:

You have (or can successfully obtain) a valid Virginia Veterinary License and DEA license in good standing.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment, multi-task with a positive "can-do" outlook, and communicate compassionately with both a diverse public clientele and internal shelter teams. Experience in a shelter, spay/neuter clinic, or public veterinary hospital is a major plus, but a passion for access to care is required.
