💙  Why this team hits different 

We’re redefining what it feels like to work in Emergency & Specialty medicine. 

Yes, we take patient care seriously—but we also take people seriously. That means: 

• A culture built on respect, empathy, and inclusivity 

• A team that balances high-level medicine with actual laughter 

• Working alongside insanely skilled DVMs across ER/ICU, Critical Care, Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Ophthalmology 

• Support from 5 VTS, experienced CVTs, and leadership that actually shows up for you 

We’re a teaching hospital, which means growth isn’t optional—it’s part of the job (in the best way). You’ll be supported, challenged, and continuously learning. 

And because this field can be heavy—we’re big on mental health support and real wellness resources. 

🐾  What you’ll do (aka your day-to-night life) 

• Triage patients + collect histories 

• Monitor vitals (incoming + hospitalized patients) 

• Jump into CPR when needed 

• Support diagnostics + treatments 

• Place IVCs and learn advanced lines (Central/PICC 👀) 

• Provide updates to clients (yes, communication matters here) 

• Assist with phone triage for incoming ER cases 

• Help maintain a clean, organized space (team effort always) 

• Work alongside a highly skilled team delivering advanced care 

✨ Bonus: You’ll get to be part of those full-circle moments—helping critical patients recover and go home to their families.
