Career Center

VCA Animal Diagnostic Clinic, VCA’s leading specialty practice serving North Texas and the Dallas metroplex area, is seeking Veterinarians (non-boarded) to join our team as full-time Hospitalists.

ADC is a high-volume specialty referral practice offering Small Animal Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Medical and Radiation Oncology, and Critical Care cases for direct referrals.

Our team of hospitalist allows for 24-hour 7 day a week doctor care for inpatients. The team of three hospitalists supervises the implementation of treatment plans created by the veterinary specialist and medically manages changes with patient status during non-admitting hours. Additionally, ADC plans to further maximize our hospitalists by implementing after-hours admittance only for current ADC patients with acute illness. At this time, we are not a 24-hour walk-in emergency center.

We believe the best candidates for this position are those with an interest in critical care case management and those who wish to participate in the evolution of a rapidly growing hospital and future ER service. Those with an interest and ideas in growing a critical care department should strongly consider this position.

This is a unique, opportunity for an emergency veterinarian or primary care veterinarian to bypass the more stressful aspects of client-centric veterinary medicine while working alongside specialists to grow their skills in intensive case management.

At the ADC our hospitalists enjoy a respectful, inclusive environment, as well as a short workweek, which allows for an improved quality of life.  Our typical hospitalist schedule can be seen below:

Schedule

• 36-hour work weeks
• 12-hour shifts 3 days a week (that is 4 days off a week!)
• No Holidays

In addition to flexible employment opportunities, our hospital offers a strongly competitive salary that lacks production goals, provides access to high caliber equipment, and fosters an inclusive and respectful hospital culture.

As a member of the VCA family, eligible full-time employees will have access to a comprehensive benefits package, including:

Health & Wellness

• Innovative associate health and wellbeing department (Headspace app subscriptions, Vault financial wellness tool, and access to additional mental health resources)
• 401k retirement savings plan with company match
• Health/dental/vision insurance, infertility benefits, gender affirmation services
• Paid parental, vacation and sick leave

Professional Development

• Continuing Education Allowance and paid Continuing Education Days
• WOOF University – offering abundant CE for Doctors and Staff
• VCA Academy’s Mentorship Program – participate as a mentee or mentor in a GP or ER setting
• Opportunities to participate in ADC’s growing Clinical Studies department

Additional Benefits

• Up to 100% Pet Care Discount for your own pets
• 100% paid professional liability coverage
• 100% paid life insurance
• 100% paid short-term disability insurance
• Access to a network of 5,000 doctors, including more than 600 specialists

At the Animal Diagnostic Clinic, we insist upon a high standard of veterinary care and strive to cultivate a healthy working environment to ensure a strong quality of life for our employees.

Benefits: We offer competitive compensation along with a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision and paid vacation/sick days, 401(k), generous employee pet discounts and more!
