Summary : Who we are :

Have you ever wondered what happens to cats and dogs whose owners are unable to afford veterinary care? We did. The ASPCA's Community Medicine (CM) team provides expert veterinary care to support the welfare of animals and their people through our stationary and mobile veterinary clinics, serving the most underserved communities in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. We help pet owners overcome barriers to care, bringing quality services directly to the communities that need us most and partially or fully subsidizing the cost of basic and preventive care. CM treats people and pets with dignity and respect, assisting pet owners in making informed decisions about their pets' health and wellbeing regardless of their financial circumstances. When you come to work at the ASPCA, you join a team of over 1,000 dedicated colleagues with deep knowledge, skills, and passion for the animals we serve.

What you'll do :

Support new and experienced veterinarians in reaching their potential, where animal well-being, teamwork and serving the community are at the core of our work. As a member of the Community Veterinary Clinic (CVC) management team, you will help deliver key CM objectives : lead a happy, high-functioning team, ensure every patient receives the highest-quality care with minimal fear and stress, and deliver outstanding client experiences to maximize the ASPCA's impact in the community. As both a player and a coach, you will work as a CM veterinarian as needed - seeing appointments, treating cats and dogs in our Primary Pet Care (PPC) program or performing high-quality, high-volume spay / neuter (HQHVSN) for shelter / rescue animals and beloved pets.

What you'll get : Compensation

Starting pay for the successful applicant will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to education, training, experience, location, business needs, internal equity, market demands or budgeted amount for the role.
