What does an emergency manager do?

An emergency manager organizes disaster response training to prepare citizens and government personnel for a crisis. As an emergency manager, you may serve as an advisor to the local government, or you may have the authority to make decisions regarding crisis management in the event of a disaster. In between crises, your job duties include raising community awareness about preparing for and responding to emergencies, developing professional relationships with media and communications outlets, and collaborating with emergency response personnel to coordinate crisis management strategies.

What does an emergency manager do?

An Emergency Manager is responsible for preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural and man-made disasters. They develop emergency plans, coordinate resources and personnel, and work with government agencies, non-profits, and the public to ensure community safety. Their role involves risk assessment, conducting drills, and leading communication during crises to minimize damage and ensure a swift recovery.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an emergency manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Emergency Manager, you need expertise in emergency planning, risk assessment, crisis response, and typically a degree in emergency management or a related field. Familiarity with incident command systems (ICS), emergency management software, and often certifications like Certified Emergency Manager (CEM) are important. Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills help coordinate teams and convey critical information under pressure. These abilities ensure effective preparation for, response to, and recovery from disasters, minimizing harm to communities.

What are some common challenges faced by emergency managers when coordinating with multiple agencies during a crisis?

Emergency Managers frequently encounter the challenge of ensuring clear communication and coordination among various agencies, such as law enforcement, fire services, public health, and local government. Each organization may have its own protocols, priorities, and communication systems, which can create obstacles in decision-making and resource allocation during high-pressure situations. Building strong relationships and conducting regular interagency training exercises are essential to streamline collaboration and improve response effectiveness during actual emergencies.

Job description

Bay State Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Services (BSVESS) is actively seeking Veterinarians interested in Emergency Mentorship to join our dynamic team. We’re excited about the expansion of our services and team, and we invite you to be a part of it!

This is a one-year program including structured skills and knowledge development as well as supervised emergency practice. Participants will be mentored directly by highly experienced emergency clinicians (most with 10+ years of experience in a specialty hospital environment) and board-certified specialists. **The ideal candidate will be looking to start their program in June 2027.**

Our Emergency Mentorship positions are available at Bay State Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Services (BSVESS) in Swansea, Massachusetts - a recently expanded specialty hospital providing Emergency and Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Surgery, plus Medical and Radiation Oncology services.  This program is run in partnership with Ocean State Veterinary Specialists (OSVS), a large and busy 24-hour emergency and specialty referral center located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island that has a strong traditional rotating internship program. We offer referral and emergency services to the RI, eastern CT, and southern MA areas. There is no general practice associated with the hospitals. 

Who should complete this mentorship program? 

  • Veterinary school graduates who have an interest in practicing as emergency clinicians, especially those interested in having the skills to practice more advanced medicine than required at an urgent care facility.
  • Veterinary school graduates who are unsure if they want to pursue a career as an emergency clinician, possibly pursue a residency, or work in a high quality GP that does a lot of their own ER/urgent care work.

Details of the Program: 

  • There is no commitment to stay beyond the one year program, but any participants who complete the program and meet the skills and knowledge requirements for an ER position will be offered an ER position at one or both of our hospitals at full ER clinician compensation.
  • Benefits: Full health insurance, all licenses and dues required to practice, and professional liability insurance.
  • 5 day work week (guaranteed 2 days off from clinical duties per week). Participants may occasionally be asked to join didactic activities that take place on days off.
  • Accepting applications for hire dates in June of 2027.

First 6 months ($75,000/year)

  • Fully supervised ER/Inpatient management shifts with 1:1 case review
  • Curated didactic activities to include:
  • CPR/Recover
  • Point of Care Ultrasound Techniques
  • Emergency radiograph assessment
  • Emergency procedure wet labs
  • “Soft skills” training including client communication, time management, self-care strategies and stress management
  • Limited rotations through specialty services at OSVS

Second 6 months ($140,000/year)

  • Functioning as an ER clinician alongside experienced emergency clinicians (you will not be alone for any of your shifts)
  • Continued opportunities to participate in didactic activities offered to interns at OSVS
  • Weekly case review with a designated ER clinician

Alternate Track Option: ($75,000/year)

After the first 6 months, the participant may have further defined their career goals and the program can adapt to help them to achieve these goals by: 

  • Converting to the internship program at OSVS for the last 6 months to obtain a small animal rotating internship certificate if they would like the option to pursue a residency.
  • Extending the training program by 3 months to gain emergency surgery training.

There is so much more to being an emergency clinician than just knowing how to perform the skills. Patients present to emergency facilities in the most severe stages of medical illnesses, requiring a depth and breadth of understanding of what priorities should be addressed and an ability to recognize critical signs of patient instability. The emergency clinicians at BSVESS have the experience of both seeing a tremendous variety of cases on emergency receiving shifts, but also managing critically ill or injured hospitalized patients in an environment of medical excellence. Participants in the mentorship program will have the opportunity to receive one-on-one mentoring while learning to manage emergency patients at the high standard maintained in a specialty hospital. This opportunity will prepare the emergency clinician for work in any type of emergency setting with confidence.

Equal Employment Opportunity United Veterinary Care provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, mental disability, physical disability, medical condition, gender, sexual orientation, genetic information, ancestry, marital status, national origin, veteran status, and other classifications protected by applicable state and local non-discrimination laws.
