Job Description

Associate Veterinarian – $130,000–$150,000 | No On-Call | Privately Owned | AAHA Accredited

Most hospitals offer a CE stipend.

We'd rather ask: What would help you become the veterinarian you want to be?

Maybe it's advanced dentistry training.

Maybe it's ultrasound certification.

Maybe there's a conference you've always wanted to attend, a surgical skill you'd like to master, or leadership development that prepares you for the next step in your career.

At Bartels Busack Pet Hospital Resort & Spa, we believe continuing education shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all benefit. We believe it should be an investment in your future.

When our veterinarians grow, our patients receive better care, our team becomes stronger, and our hospital continues to thrive. That's why we want to have a conversation about your professional goals, not just hand you a CE allowance.
