The main difference is experience level: new grads are entry-level, often supervised and still gaining hands-on skills, while associate veterinarians are more experienced, working independently in clinical settings.

Who we are:
Looking for the next step in your veterinary career? We are looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join us at Sunset Animal Clinic, a trusted practice serving West Columbia since the 1980s, serving small animals and exotics!

We're Looking For:
  • An associate veterinarian (new graduate or experienced) who values teamwork, client service, and quality medicine.
