Churchland Animal Clinic is looking to welcome the newest Associate DVM to our growing Portsmouth, Virginia, practice!

This is a full-time or part-time, Monday-Saturday role with extremely flexible scheduling. There are no on-call services or emergency hours required for this role. Any special interests and experience levels are welcome—including recent graduates! Our DVM team enjoys teaching and have previously mentored doctors early in their careers. Must be licensed (or able to become licensed) in the state of Virginia for consideration.

We’re open weekdays from 8am-6pm and the 1^st and 3^rd Saturdays each month (half-day). Currently we have surgeries all day on Wednesdays and see appointments the remainder of the week. We run 30-minute appointments and will take work-ins, as needed. We have a phenomenal, experienced LVT to assist in surgery, who is cool, calm, and collected. She’s an excellent representation of an LVT (especially for new graduates who want to see exactly what is expected of an LVT during surgery).

As our next Associate, you will:

• Build and uphold existing relationships with the local community
• Provide loving care to small animals and a peace of mind to their humans
• Have a positive attitude, outgoing personality, and commitment to the veterinary field
