Fort Smith, Arkansas, is a city of convergence.

It’s where the Arkansas and Poteau rivers unite. Where the North and South battled and where outlaws collided with judges. It’s “where the new South meets the old West.”

It’s where you’ll find balance between real life and a thriving veterinary career.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who…

• Has a few years of experience under their belt or is an early career veterinarian
