Career Center

Animal Care Center of Carters Creek, a 4-doctor small animal hospital based in Columbia, TN, would love to add a new DVM to our team!

Be ready to join a laid-back, family-like team, where we have a sense of humor and egos are left at the door. And don’t forget to bring your A-game! Our entire team is eager to jump in and help where needed, and while we’re easy going, we don’t lose sight of our respect for quality medicine, patient care, and communication.

We are in the process of expanding, and as our clinic grows, we’re searching for a veterinarian who will help us elevate our services. We’re open to DVMs of all experience levels, especially those who are skilled in diagnostics or would like to introduce exotic medicine to our services. Veterinarians who have prior clinical experience, yet are malleable interested in adopting our protocols, while also bringing new ideas to the table, would be excellent additions to our team.

Our strengths:

• Having a top-notch team, including 2 FT DVMs, 2 PT DVMs and experienced technicians
• Providing exceptional, personalized care to our community’s dogs and cats
• Having excellent bedside manner that earns trust and builds rapport with clients
• Remaining family-oriented and understanding our team members deserve time away from work

Scheduling needs:

This is a full-time role comprised of four-day work weeks and alternating Saturday coverage (half days). We currently have 3-doctor and 2-doctor surgery days and see drop-offs, and appointments as needed. Our doctors primarily work from 8am-6pm and are provided flexible scheduling + ample PTO so they can truly vacation and have time to enjoy life outside of work. We’re also happy to accommodate NO on-call or afterhour emergency responsibilities in this role.

Commitment to mentorship:

Aside from collaborating with our doctors, additional ways we'll provide mentorship and support your professional growth include: 

• Annual $2,500 CE allowance
• Guidance from a talented Medical Advisory Board
• Structured mentorship program (for early career veterinarians or interested mentors)
• Monthly DVM rounds with an internal medicine specialist
• Dentistry training courtesy of a board-certified dental specialist

Our investment in YOU:

• Six-figure base plus production (no negative accrual)
• Exciting bonus package

• Generous PTO (with rollover)
• Paid parental leave/bonding time
• NO on-call or emergency hours
• Medical, dental, and vision plans
• 401(k) options
• Personal pet discounts
• AVMA PLIT coverage
• Professional development assistance
• Paid licensing fees and membership dues
• Charity donation to your favorite organization
• Free lunch Fridays
• Plus more!
