ER Job Description
Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine (CHVM) is currently seeking an emergency veterinarian to join
our growing team! We have availability for full and part-time positions.
CHVM is the ONLY privately owned Emergency/Specialty Hospital of this size in the state of Connecticut,
with locations in North Haven and Guilford. We are a Level 1 VECCS certified facility and we provide
emergency veterinary care 24/7/365. Our emergency service sees a mix of both referrals and primary
opinion cases, with a varied caseload that keeps things interesting! Our 11 ER doctors are supported by
a robust team of specialists including internal medicine, anesthesia, critical care, cardiology, radiology,
surgery, exotics, medical oncology, ophthalmology, interventional radiology, neurology, and sports
medicine/rehabilitation. Our ICU in North Haven is staffed 7 days a week, including weekends and
holidays, by 3 critical care specialists, allowing ER doctors to focus on primary receiving of emergency
cases.
We have a commitment to mental health and work-life balance for all staff, reflected in flexible
scheduling and generous PTO. ER clinicians also have no on call responsibilities and can enjoy a flexible
3-4 day work week. We have a great group of caring, team-oriented, positive individuals with a
commitment to practicing the highest quality of medicine in a busy, referral setting.

ensure continuity and high quality care for our mutual patients.
