More about the Role

Everyone knows the importance of animal dentistry, but not everyone has experience in it. How would you like to work in a general practice under the mentorship of a Board Certified Veterinary Dentist to hone your skills? Well at Animal Care Hospital in Oakland TN you'll get just that! Our busy practice is looking to add an associate veterinarian to our team and we'd love to mentor you in all aspects of medicine (if that's what you're looking for), but especially dentistry even if you've been in practice for years!

Besides appointments, you'll ideally have an interest in surgery and/or ultrasound too, because we do daily procedures. And if work-life balance is on your list of wants, we have great hours including no nights, no on-call and no weekends!
