Are you ready to practice veterinary medicine in a supportive, collaborative, and dynamic environment? Are you a GP vet tired of the daily caseload of vaccines and wellness visits, but not quite comfortable tackling the most critical emergencies? Or are you an emergency doctor wanting off overnights but still wanting to see a wide variety of cases? The Eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral (ECVR) in Wilmington, NC is looking to hire an Urgent Care Veterinarian that focuses on non-critical cases.
About the Role:
As an Urgent Care Veterinarian, you will focus on providing immediate medical care to pets experiencing non-life-threatening conditions.

You will collaborate closely with our skilled support staff and fellow veterinarians to deliver top-quality care.
Caseload Highlights:
· Treating minor injuries such as cuts, abrasions, and bite wounds.
· Diagnosing and managing acute illnesses like vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory distress.
· Stabilizing pets with conditions that require follow-up care, such as lameness or infections.
· Handling walk-in cases with efficiency and empathy.
· Providing client education and ensuring clear communication about treatment plans.
Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house lab capabilities, and more to support your ability to provide excellent urgent care services.
