We are looking for a veterinarian who has a passion for treating non-traditional animals in a non-traditional education organization. 60% of the patients are exotic pets, 30% are wildlife, and 10% are zoo animals; 100% of the job involves educating students of all ages and abilities in natural history, medicine, and care - both in and out of the exam room. New graduates eligible.
About New England Wildlife Centers
The nonprofit New England Wildlife Centers (NEWCs) operates wildlife veterinary hospitals in metro Boston and on Cape Cod. NEWCs runs a commercial exotics practice, the Odd Pet Vet. Equally important to veterinary care to animals is the education of children and under-served and/or disenfranchised populations and the inclusion of, and outreach to, the community. Veterinarians at NEWC are also educators and are needed to participate in the function of the entire mission.
We train middle school, high school, undergraduate, graduate, veterinary, incarcerated, and challenged students in care-based science education about wildlife, zoo, and exotic animal natural history, medicine and biology.
The Center is a dynamic and growing organization. We treat 400 different types of species, involve students from all over the world in our work, keep our egos low and our expectations of ourselves high.
