Mentorship is a big deal to us. If you are newer to emergency medicine, you won’t be thrown into the deep end and left to figure it out. We provide strong mentorship and hands-on support, and our experienced doctors genuinely enjoy teaching.
Our philosophy is simple: We hire good people who are eager to learn. We can teach you emergency medicine. And if you’re already an experienced ER veterinarian, you’ll have plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to bring your own experience and ideas to the team.
There is huge demand for emergency care in Fredericton, and we’re excited about where we’re going.
Come help us build something great.
We’re growing. We’re independent. We’re locally owned. And we’re just getting started.
