About Emergency & Critical Care at AMC

The ECC Department is currently comprised of ten board-certified specialists in ECC, seven internship-trained emergency doctors, nine residents, 35 licensed technicians (several with their VTS in ECC), and 22 assistants. In our open new-renovated ICU, patients are co-managed by ECC and allied services or managed primarily by the ECC team. Our ER is at the hospital’s center, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and has an active caseload of nearly 20,000 visits per year. AMC is the only VETCOT certified, Level one trauma center in the region.

The Senior Veterinarian in ER will play a paramount and integral role in the Emergency and Critical Care Department. The clinical responsibilities of our ER doctors include primary case receiving as well as oversight of the interns and ECC residents seeing emergency cases. The overnight rotation for ER doctors includes oversight and monitoring of all pets hospitalized in the ICU and of the interns in the ER. The senior ER doctor schedule varies among daytime, swing, and overnight shifts, during which time you will be working alongside 1-3 senior ER doctors and/or criticalists and 4-6 rotating interns (shift depending). Senior ER doctors share responsibilities in the ER with the boarded criticalists and senior ECC residents.

The Senior Veterinarian in ER role is demanding but extremely gratifying as it allows the opportunity for infinite growth. Efficiency, diplomacy, patience, and confidence are essential character traits for our doctors, as are both a desire to teach and to continue to learn. We encourage our senior ER doctors to participate in both internal and external continuing education opportunities and to stay apprised of current literature as it applies to ECC.
