Veterinary Internist

Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist - Sign-On Bonus Potential

CVETS is seeking a Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist to join our growing team in a unique split-role position across our West Columbia and Northeast locations- just 20 minutes apart. This hybrid opportunity offers the best of both worlds: the efficiency and focus of outpatient medicine paired with the depth and complexity of a 24-hour specialty and emergency hospital.In this dynamic hybrid role, you’ll practice high-quality internal medicine across two distinct but fully integrated care settings.

Here’s how you’ll make a difference:

• Deliver Advanced Diagnostics & Care: Provide internal medicine consultations, case management, and advanced diagnostics across a diverse caseload


• Work Across Care Models: Split your time between our West Columbia outpatient specialty hospital and our Northeast 24-hour emergency and referral center


• Leverage Advanced Technology: Utilize ultrasound and endoscopy at both locations, with access to MRI and CT imaging at our Northeast facility


• Collaborate at a High Level: Partner with specialists in Surgery, Oncology, Neurology, Cardiology, Radiology, and Critical Care across both hospitals


• Continuity of Care: Support cases from initial consult through diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up

Why This Role Stands Out

• True Case Variety – Experience both outpatient-focused medicine and complex inpatient/emergency cases


• Integrated Hospital System – Seamless collaboration between two locations with strong specialty support


• Built-In Referral Base – Consistent case flow from ER, urgent care, and primary care partners


• Flexible Part-Time Schedule – Balance meaningful clinical work with schedule flexibility


• Growth Opportunity – Help shape and expand internal medicine services within a growing, modern model

Unmatched Support & Clinical Excellence
CVETS is a rapidly expanding practice built on a foundation of collaboration, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to our people. Founded by Drs. Michael and Tracy Schlicksup, we foster a supportive, team-first culture where specialists excel. CVETS Northeast is Columbia’s only privately owned 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital and a VECCS Level 1 Certified Facility, providing:

• Direct collaboration with board-certified specialists across multiple disciplines


• Advanced imaging including MRI, CT, and fluoroscopy


• A fully equipped ICU with dedicated critical care team


• Seamless case transfer and support between locations

At West Columbia, you’ll practice in a streamlined outpatient specialty environment alongside Surgery, Oncology, and Urgent Care- designed for efficiency, collaboration, and client-centered care.

Exceptional Rewards for Your Expertise
We value your time, skill, and impact.

• Competitive compensation structure for hybrid role


• CE allowance + licensure and dues reimbursement

• Discounted pet care

A Culture That Feels Different

• Direct access to engaged, supportive leadership


• A collaborative, respectful environment where your expertise is valued


• Strong onboarding and integration across both locations
