Shape the Future of Outpatient Surgery: Join CVETS West Columbia!

Are you a Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeon or Residency-Trained Veterinarian ready for a different kind of specialty practice? CVETS is seeking a full-time Outpatient Specialty Surgeon to join our expanding West Columbia location- an innovative, outpatient-focused model designed for efficiency, collaboration, and exceptional patient care. This is a unique opportunity to focus on high-quality surgical care in a streamlined, outpatient environment- without the demands of overnight hospitalization.

Here’s how you’ll make a difference:

• Deliver Expert Surgical Care: Perform orthopedic and non-complex soft tissue procedures in a modern, state-of-the-art outpatient setting
• Own the Case Journey: Manage cases from consultation through discharge with a same-day or short-stay focus
• Collaborate Across Services: Partner closely with Urgent Care, Internal Medicine, and Oncology teams on-site
• Leverage System-Wide Expertise: Work in sync with our Northeast 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital and a VECCS Level 1 Certified Facility, supported by 15+ specialists across Neurology, Radiology, Cardiology, and Critical Care
• Innovate the Model: Help shape and refine outpatient surgical workflows in a growing and evolving practice

Why This Role Stands Out

• No Overnight Hospitalization Requirements – Focus on efficient, high-quality surgical care
• Built-In Referral Base – Strong case flow from urgent care and emergency services
• Best of Both Worlds – Enjoy the pace of outpatient practice with the backing of a full-scale specialty hospital
• Growth & Leadership Opportunity – Play a key role in developing a modern outpatient specialty model
• Collaborative Culture – Work alongside a highly skilled, team-oriented group of specialists; Seamless case transfer and collaboration when higher-level care is needed
