Emergency Veterinarian Hospitalist – Colorado Springs, CO – #7442

We are seeking a veterinarian hospitalist to work at our wonderful animal hospital. A hospitalist is a physician who cares for inpatients, meaning they only work inside a hospital.

The incoming hospitalist will evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage patients presenting on an emergent and urgent care basis, formulate treatment plans and clearly communicate this to both support staff, doctors, and clients, perform surgical and other emergency procedures, document physical exam findings, diagnostic recommendations, diagnostic findings, treatments, client status and outcomes, and client communications, perform emergency triage and intensive stabilization of patients in critical condition due to physical trauma, severe injury, cardiovascular shock, respiratory distress, cardiac disease, neurological conditions, endocrinopathies, and gastrointestinal difficulty, Evaluate abnormal clinical signs and physical exam findings, interpret diagnostic tests, compile detailed case reports/records, supervise intensive care, oversee veterinary technicians, assistants and other support staff, and provide consultations on referral cases from the local primary care veterinary community, and so much more!

You will work in conjunction with specialists and referring veterinarians on the treatment of hospitalized cases and perform all duties of a veterinarian in a full-service, high-volume emergency and referral hospital.

Our two top priorities at our veterinary hospital are that we provide the gold standard care for our patients, and also foster a positive and supportive culture between staff.

Each doctor has a team of techs and assistants who work the same schedule as the doctor. Additionally, we have full-time lab pharmacy staff and front desk workers so the doctor’s team is just focusing on patient care.

We want to support our staff to get the CE they want, have adequate staffing to reduce burnout, and pay living wages to our support staff.

If this sounds like the job for you, we’d love to chat!

Life in Colorado Springs

The second-largest city in Colorado is known as “The Springs” to the locals and it is a gem of a city! It’s set against the beautiful backdrop of Pikes Peak which looks like a lush, green-covered mountain or a stunning snow-covered one depending on the season, and blue skies! While Colorado Springs offers a bustling city life, you’ll also experience an easy-going small-town feel. The Springs has some of the best public schools in the nation, and there is so much for families to do! Residents enjoy the beautiful outdoors with water activities such as boating, whitewater rafting, fishing, and paddle boarding. When it comes to family-fun activities this city has plenty of them. Enjoy sporting events, museums, indoor entertainment, and delightful eateries. During the weekday or weekend, take a trip to Denver and enjoy the mountain activities as it is only an hour away. Or, drive a little further north and experience the majesty of 13,000+ foot peaks in Boulder!
