VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital, among the most established and respected 24-hour emergency and general practice in Southern California, is currently looking for a swing shift (with potential overnight coverage) associate to join the family.
The hospital has been in existence since 1948 and in 2007 moved to a spectacular and absolute state-of-the-art 10,000 sq. foot facility and overnight became one of the finest and most beautiful hospitals in the west.
The hospital receives emergency cases from approximately 60 local hospitals, 25 of which send all their after-hour referrals to VCA Lakewood. With a client base of 30,000 clients and so many referring hospitals, there is no doubt this is a busy practice with an exciting and varied caseload. There are currently 14 doctors including a resident-trained surgeon as well as multiple internship-trained DVMs. In addition, there is access to specialists in surgery, radiology, and cardiology.
A hospital with such a heavy caseload and strong doctor presence must also have an excellent accompanying team. VCA Lakewood does not disappoint in this department either with approximately 8-10 technicians and 10 receptionists during the day, 5-6 technicians with 3 receptionists on the swing, and 4 techs overnight.
VCA Lakewood is fully staffed with a well-trained support team, it has all the necessary equipment that one would expect from a hospital of this caliber. The hospital has CT, digital radiography, an endoscopy tower, multiple ultrasounds, O2 cages, a ventilator, a complete in-house lab, and plenty of IV pumps, syringe pumps, and monitoring equipment.
We are looking for either an internship-trained veterinarian or one who is comfortable handling a heavy caseload. And although the basis of everything we do is centered around the medical and surgical care of our patients, we also expect prospective candidates to be personable, happy, friendly people. Someone who has pride in their work and works hard to please everyone and above all else strives for medical excellence, would do very well at VCA Lakewood.
As a member of the VCA family, your passion for medicine and compassion for pets and people are matched with a commitment to your professional growth. Among the reasons to consider joining VCA are:
* Network of 4,500+ doctors, including more than 600 Specialists.
* Largest provider of Private Practice Internships and Residencies in the U.S.
* WOOF University, offering abundant CE for Doctors and Staff.
* Robust Clinical Studies program.
