Job Description
If you are a California Boarded DVM with 3+ years experience, and are tired of being run ragged by corporate limitations and a brutal schedule; consider making the move to beautiful Sonora. Tucked away in the foothills of Yosemite, far away from the traffic and noise of the Valley, you can finally have a say in the medicine you practice in a business that puts you first.
We are an independently owned 3 doctor practice, and working for a small practice has its benefits and its drawbacks. Being a trusted and respected physician for a community that loves you means you will have to answer some client emails and take some overnight call. Being able to choose who you see as a client means you will also have to show up to meetings and participate as a physician leader to uphold care standards. Having a six hour working day with a 90 minute lunch means sometimes you have to stay late for a critical case. If you are looking for a balance to your life, it's not just the number of minutes being equal on either side of the equation; its the meaning of those minutes that matter. That looks like being home for the things that matter, and showing up for your patients when they need you. There is no greater quality of life then knowing you are where you are supposed to be. Half our staff have more then 10 years with the company, and they know the clients well. They will support you by doing the phone calls and minor care as fully utilized technicians. Our Physicians have worked together for decades, and you will not find a more encouraging and genuine family environment to work in.
*The Associate DVM Part Time is expected to work a minimum of 3 days a week with rotating weekends. Physicians collaborate together to cover the shifts and you will find a supportive environment that wants to see you have the time off you need.
*Call: Emergency phone calls are triaged by the RVT, and if there is something that requires a DVM, you will be called to collaborate on a plan of care. If you do need to go to the office, you are bonused to care for that patient. Further compensation is provided if the case is deeply involved. Emergency Call volume tends to be seasonal. In the winter we can go weeks without a single call, in the summer we can have two in a single night. Associate DVM Part time will cover 2 nights of call per week.
*Compensation: Associate DVM Part time is payed Pro-Sal with a base salary and production bonus.
*Vacation: Generous PTO Package to allow you to spend time with family
*CE Stipend: The hospital will reimburse $1,500 of your C.E and professional development related expenses
*Professional Liability: covered under hospital policy
*Medical / Dental / Vision: paid for by the hospital
*Administrative responsibilities: Attend required meetings, participate in evaluation of staff performance, take active part in upholding high standards of medical practice with the full support of the administration
It's time to choose quality of life and quality of practice. Come to the mountains where "social distancing" is a normal part of not living in a crammed city. If you are the kind of person who wants more autonomy and control to have more of what matters to you, this may be your ticket!
