VCA Salem Animal Hospital is seeking an Emergency/Urgent Care Veterinarian to complement our talented team in Salem, Oregon.

Our hospital was founded over 20 years ago, and our spacious newly remodeled facility is nestled in a scenic area adjacent to one of Salem’s most vibrant commercial areas.  The ER shares space with the GP division of our hospital and the two departments enjoy a symbiotic relationship. Our senior support team members have years of experience under their belts and a commitment to helping you through our daily caseload using all of the diagnostic and treatment tools you need including an OR with surgical laser and cautery, in-house lab, endoscopy, ultrasound, digital x-ray, and an ICU with an O2 regulation cage.

Our ER/UC Division is open 365 days a year, and sees patients from 8am-8pm every day.  Our hospital schedule offers the flexibility for veterinarians to spread full-time hours over three or four days. We also happily consider part-time schedules if desired.

Salem is a large enough city to offer a little of everything, yet small enough to be surrounded by agriculture and small town living. Located directly between Oregon’s rugged coastal range and central Oregon’s desert climate, Salem is a paradise for anyone focused on the outdoors.
