About the role
As a Criticalist, you will play a key role in managing critically ill and hospitalized patients, overseeing ICU-level care, and supporting the ER team with complex and life-threatening cases.
You will collaborate closely with other specialists, including internal medicine, to ensure comprehensive and high-quality patient care, while also helping guide protocols, mentoring team members, and elevating the level of medicine across the hospital. Collaboration across specialties is a key component of modern specialty hospitals and allows for the best possible outcomes for critically ill patients.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Busy, established 24/7 ER with strong and growing caseload
- Opportunity to build and lead a critical care service
- Collaborative environment with access to specialty support, including Internal Medicine
- State-of-the-art facility with advanced diagnostic and monitoring capabilities
- Ability to make a meaningful impact on hospital growth and patient care
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation package
- Opportunity to shape and grow a new specialty service
- Access to advanced equipment and a strong referral base
- Supportive, team-oriented environment
- Work-life balance in a coastal setting
If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, collaborative specialty hospital where you can build something meaningful and practice at the highest level, we would love to connect.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Board-Certified (ACVECC) Veterinary Criticalist
- Passion for emergency and critical care medicine
- Strong collaboration and communication skills
- Interest in building and growing a specialty service
- Commitment to high-quality, compassionate patient care
