Swansboro Animal Hospital Emergency and Trauma Center is a 24/7 emergency practice in coastal Swansboro, NC. We prioritize progressive, high-quality medicine with a strong focus on education and mentorship. We encourage cooperation between all members of the staff and hold monthly DVM meetings that are open to our technicians. Our collaborative team environment includes daily shift-change rounds, case review submissions from all staff, and more!

We're equipped with advanced diagnostics and tools including: DR radiographs, ultrasound, endoscopy, IDEXX lab equipment, VetFlex ICU oxygen cages, digital cytology, a donor blood bank, Cubex inventory management, and Vetspire software. Our support staff includes RVTs, assistants, kennel techs, and CSRs, all contributing to a smooth workflow. We allow our RVTs to perform complex procedures as allowed by their licensure, so we are looking for people who want to utilize their skills to practice medicine to the fullest extent!

We have a fully functional break room that is stocked monthly with snacks and drinks and a hospital support kitty for comfort and laughs ( Gus would love another human treat dispenser! ). We emphasize not only a fun supportive team culture but also encourage work-life balance with flexible scheduling and protected time off. Burnout in veterinary medicine is real, and we want to help you love veterinary medicine. Enjoy your time off at any of the many local beaches or, if you are interested in more city adventures, Raleigh and Wilmington are both 2 hours or less away!
