As well as being paperless with utilizing Impromed as our practice management software, and integrated with CoVet as our AI scribe platform.

Just as importantly, we believe a fulfilling veterinary career should be sustainable. We are deeply committed to work-life balance and fostering a culture where team members feel supported both professionally and personally. We work hard, laugh often, and genuinely enjoy working together.

  • Active Oregon veterinary license in good standing, or ability to obtain licensure prior to start date
  • Minimum of two years of clinical veterinary experience

Preferred

  • Experience utilizing digital radiography, dental radiography, and in-house diagnostics
  • Experience in small animal general practice, urgent care, or companion animal medicine
  • Strong mentorship, communication, and leadership skills
  • Proven adaptability, initiative, and team-building abilities
