Description

The associate equine veterinarian is responsible for providing high quality, evidenced-based veterinary care to equine patients.  We will provide you with an ambulatory truck with radiograph and ultrasound units because providing on farm diagnostics is a pillar of our practice.  We have a full in-house laboratory and staff to support you.  With a boarded surgeon and experienced sports medicine clinician on staff, we are able to provide ongoing mentorship for a younger veterinarian.  Our philosophy is to remain independent owned and operated by our veterinarians – offering early buy in opportunities for the right candidate.  No non-compete agreement! We want you to choose to stay because we’ve built something worth staying for, not because you're contractually obligated. We believe in this principle so strongly that we helped lead the effort to ban non-competes for veterinarians in Maryland.  Mixed animal veterinarians welcome to apply as there is a strong need to to grow a farm animal caseload in the area.  Our practice is in a rapid growth phase and expanding to include a referral hospital providing additional opportunities in anesthesia and medicine for the right candidate.  For more information about our practice please visit our website at https://www.chesapeakeequinevets.com.
