  community and within our own team
• Prioritization of the balance between providing
  exemplary veterinary care to our community while safeguarding our own mental
  health and work-life balance
• Colleagues include experienced/established
  veterinarians alongside more recently graduated doctors, thereby providing
  access to both tried-and-true medicine and techniques as well as cutting-edge
  recommendations—truly the best of both worlds
• Collaborative approach among our doctors that
  extends from case load and problem-solving to last-minute schedule
  adjustments/trades, as needed

Our practice is a
well-established and dynamic small animal hospital located between the
Baltimore and Annapolis metropolitan areas. We are seeking a proficient
veterinarian interested in practicing quality medicine among a team of
friendly, professional, and fun-loving staff! At Huffard Animal Hospital, we
pride ourselves on being a diverse mixture of respected and reputable
doctors/staff as well as fresh team members enthusiastically at the start of
their careers. In addition to providing a high standard of care, it is
important to our team that prospective candidates show willingness to laugh at
the sillies, share comfort during the tough times, and help the team continue
to advance our skills, knowledge, and capabilities.

About the Opportunity:

• Combination of general practice caseload
  (scheduled wellness visits, sick/injured appointments, and surgeries/dentals)
  as well as a limited quota of same-day-sick visits shared daily among the
  doctoral team
• “Flex Hour” daily on weekdays as a buffer that
  is free from scheduled appointments – this helps ensure lunch is eaten, the
  workload remains contained within reasonable working hours, and that nursing
  mothers can be confident they will have time to tend to their needs
• Access to several local emergency
  hospitals/specialty practices for case transfer, discussion, and guidance
• Full-time preferred, part-time considered
