We are working on behalf of a well-established, full-service small animal hospital in Wilmington, NC that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team. The hospital has been caring for pets in the Wilmington community for more than 30 years and has built a loyal client base and a strong local reputation along the way. You would be joining a close-knit team of five veterinarians, supported by a dedicated Hospital Manager who keeps operations running smoothly so doctors can focus on medicine. The caseload is varied and engaging, from preventive care and wellness through to surgery, advanced care, and same-day urgent care, all backed by in-house testing and diagnostics. Whether you want to sharpen your surgical skills, build confidence with more complex cases, or simply practice good medicine alongside experienced colleagues, there is mentorship and room to grow here. The practice is also part of a locally connected network, giving you access to educational resources and professional connections beyond your own hospital. Outside of work, Wilmington offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle with nearby beaches, a historic downtown, and a friendly, vibrant community, making it a great place to build both a career and a life.
