Per Diem Veterinarian, Community Medicine, Los Angeles
1 month ago
Who we are:
Have you ever wondered what happens to cats and dogs whose owners are unable to afford veterinary care? We did. The ASPCA's Community Medicine (CM) team provides expert veterinary care to support the welfare of animals and their people through our stationary and mobile veterinary clinics, serving the most underserved communities in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. We help pet owners overcome barriers to care, bringing quality services directly to the communities that need us most and partially or fully subsidizing the cost of basic and preventive care. CM treats people and pets with dignity and respect, assisting pet owners in making informed decisions about their pets' health and wellbeing regardless of their financial circumstances. When you come to work at the ASPCA, you join a team of over 1,000 dedicated colleagues with deep knowledge, skills, and passion for the animals we serve.
What you'll do:
Help animals in need Our highly skilled veterinarians, along with support from licensed technicians and assistants, provide essential services to the pets and rescue animals that need us the most. CM's team of medical professionals sees over 100,000 animals every year-and there are many more that need our help. No worrying about the cost of services to your clients - the ASPCA provides services to qualifying clients at low or no cost to them. The ASPCA's CM program offers high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN), preventive care and treatment for minor illnesses and injuries. Experienced HQHVSN surgeons may choose either surgery days or days providing preventive and basic care which we call Primary Pet Care (PPC). Those with small animal experience but not HQHVSN can opt for PPC shifts. All of our services are provided at our stationary clinic or on one of our state-of-the-art, custom-built mobile veterinary clinics.
