Prairie Side Veterinary Hospital is seeking a full- or part-time Associate Veterinarian to serve the needs of our community’s canine and feline patients.  Mt. Pleasant’s hometown feel, forward-thinking attitude, excellent accessibility, and ideal location make this a great place to live and work.  Located just outside of Racine, the sparkling Lake Michigan coastline also offers water recreation, along with the 400+ acres of parkland, nearby golf courses, and miles of bike lanes.

At Prairie Side, we believe healthy pets are the happiest pets.  It’s our goal to provide comprehensive care including wellness, surgical, dental, diagnostic, nutrition counseling, and acupuncture.  Our ideal candidate would be motivated to continue our mission while exemplifying an “all hands-on deck” attitude.  Our support staff thoroughly embodies this, and we enjoy having a close-knit, family-like atmosphere!  Due to our 1.5 DVM size, the ability to work independently is also a must.

Our clinic has the tools needed to practice quality medicine including digital radiography, dental rads, in-house labs, and access to ultrasound.  The opportunity also exists to shadow and potentially learn orthopedic procedures from our Medical Director.  Please note, Prairie Side is within proximity to several other network hospitals (Kenosha, Franksville, and Delavan) – we would love to talk about splitting time if that’s of interest!

Available to qualified candidates are comprehensive benefits and competitive compensation, including:

• Production based OR salaried compensation options
• Signing bonus 
• Relocation assistance 
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with shared premiums 
• Practice-sponsored life insurance 
• 401(k) eligibility with employer match 
• Child Care Participant 
• Annual continuing education stipend 
• Paid time-off for personal use and to attend CE 
• In-house development programs for new graduates, experienced Associates, and Medical Directors 
• Sponsored Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with wellness initiatives 
• Training & Critical Incident Services 
• Paid AVMA PLIT policy coverage 
• Reimbursement of all licensure and DEA fees 
• Reimbursement of professional membership dues 
• Personal pet discounts

We are dedicated to retaining the culture of each of our hospitals in addition to the local practice of medicine. We do this by ensuring each hospital has complete medical autonomy with their choice of protocols, therapies, inventory items, vendors and even management software. We also focus on our employees’ health and well-being as much as we do the pets we treat. We would love to hear from you!
