What does a part-time vet do?

A part-time vet is a licensed veterinarian who provides medical care to animals but works fewer hours than a full-time vet, typically on a set schedule such as certain days of the week or specific shifts. Their responsibilities include diagnosing illnesses, performing surgeries, administering vaccinations, and advising pet owners on animal care. Working part-time allows for work-life balance or the ability to pursue other interests or commitments outside of veterinary practice.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part-time vet, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Vet, you need a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, state licensure, and strong clinical and diagnostic skills. Familiarity with veterinary practice management software, digital radiography, and laboratory equipment is typically required. Compassion, clear communication, and adaptability help you build trust with clients and collaborate effectively with team members. These abilities are essential for delivering high-quality animal care and maintaining smooth clinic operations, even with a part-time schedule.

What are the typical scheduling expectations and flexibility for a part-time vet?

Part-time veterinarians often have flexible scheduling options, which can include working evenings, weekends, or specific days each week depending on the clinic’s needs. While this flexibility is appealing, it may also mean covering shifts at short notice or during busy periods. Communication with clinic management is key to ensuring your availability aligns with their staffing requirements. Additionally, part-time vets may need to coordinate closely with full-time staff to ensure continuity of care for patients and effective case handovers.

Success depends on completing the required education, gaining relevant experience, and obtaining licensure, which can be pursued at any age as long as prerequisites are met.

  • Dr. Dena Letot (Michigan State '21); mixed/small animal
  • Dr. Keri Suk (Michigan State '21); mixed/small animal

About This Role

Daily Roles Bovine: client herd health visits, ultrasound palpation, training farm employees and reviewing protocols, routine surgery. Spanish speaking a huge benefit.
Daily Roles Equine/Small Ruminant: preventative care, reproductive work, sick animal calls, field emergencies, equine dentals, etc. If someone had interest in sports medicine/chiropractic/acupuncture, there is definitely a need.
We currently run a 4 week on call rotation where you're on call for a week, average is 1-2 after hours calls/week (ER vet receives 100% ER fee)
About You
Full time large animal teammate (part-time possible) who values innovative processes and collaboration.
