Looking for a general practice where you can build your skills, practice with autonomy, and work alongside a team that genuinely supports your growth?

DVM Focus is recruiting an Associate Veterinarian for an established small animal practice in Alabama’s Mobile Bay area. This opportunity offers a varied general practice caseload, experienced team support, mentorship, and room to continue developing across medicine, surgery, and dentistry.

Recent graduates and experienced veterinarians are both encouraged to explore the opportunity.

What You’ll Do

Your caseload may include:

• Wellness and preventive medicine
• General medical care
• Diagnostic workups and case management
• Routine surgery
• Dentistry
• Same-day sick visits
• Client education and communication
• Collaboration with veterinarians and support staff

You’ll have the opportunity to build lasting client relationships while continuing to strengthen your clinical skills.

What They’re Looking For

• DVM, VMD, or equivalent veterinary degree
• Active Alabama veterinary license or ability to obtain one
• Strong communication and client-service skills
• Interest or proficiency in general medicine, surgery, and dentistry
• Collaborative, team-oriented approach to patient care
• Commitment to continued professional development

Recent graduates are welcome, and mentorship is available.

DEA licensure and USDA accreditation are preferred but may be obtained after hire.

Compensation & Benefits

Market-based compensation range: $105,000–$175,000 , depending on experience, qualifications, schedule, clinical skill set, and compensation structure.

The overall opportunity may also include:

• Health benefits
• Continuing education support
• Mentorship and professional development
• Medical autonomy
• Experienced team support
• Full-time or part-time schedule consideration
• Additional DVM benefits based on eligibility

Why This One Is Worth a Conversation

This is a strong option for a veterinarian who wants broad GP experience without sacrificing mentorship or clinical autonomy.

For a newer DVM, there is support to keep building confidence across medicine, surgery, and dentistry. For an experienced veterinarian, there is room to bring established skills and practice with greater independence.

The Mobile Bay area also offers Gulf Coast access, a comparatively affordable cost of living, and a lifestyle that can be especially appealing for someone looking for a smaller coastal market.

DVM Focus will walk you through the practice, schedule, compensation structure, team, and expectations before an introduction is made so you can decide whether the opportunity actually aligns with what you want.
