VCA South Shore Weymouth Animal Hospital—nestled along the coastline just 30 minutes south of Boston, Massachusetts—is seeking a board-certified or residency-trained Criticalist to join our 24-hour emergency/specialty/general practice. 

For more than 30 years, we have been caring for pets in the Norfolk County area. Our 28,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art hospital is beautiful and inviting at only 10 years old, with a diverse and stimulating caseload. The strong relationship between our emergency and specialty departments allows us to care for complex surgical and medical cases in a 24-hour setting, providing comprehensive care. VCA South Shore Weymouth also boasts a strong internship program and a talented, caring support staff.

We have ultrasound, a 64-slice CT scanner, MRI, C-arm fluoroscopy, and a new telemetry unit. We also have high-flow nasal oxygen, ventilator capabilities, minimally invasive surgery, stat cytology, VCM, and I-131. The hospital is led by a supportive, progressive management team, and we are a level 2 trauma center. We are AHAA certified, VECCS certified, and have integrated fear-free methods throughout the practice.
