A well-established small animal hospital in San Diego is looking to add an Associate Veterinarian to its clinical team. This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to practice quality medicine in a supportive environment with genuine autonomy and excellent infrastructure behind them.

The role suits a vet who enjoys a varied GP caseload, values efficiency in practice, and wants to be well supported day-to-day without being micromanaged.
