Are you looking for a change of pace? Are you looking for a place to catch your breath after that internship? Are you looking for a practice where the clients are ALWAYS happy to see you?  Do you want to practice equine medicine and have a normal, fulfilling life outside of practice? Are you tired of working all day then seeing emergencies all night? Are you tired of missing birthday dinners and date nights? Do you want to be a part of a family friendly practice? Come be a part of a cutting edge equine practice. We are looking for equine vets that have a desire to provide high quality medicine to the horses of the Louisville, Kentucky area.  We are looking for team members that want to have a work-life balance that allows them to pursue passions other than veterinary medicine. We are looking for veterinarians that want to have time to ride their horses, climb mountains, or spend more time with their family. We are looking for those that want to live their lives and love their jobs.  

This is an unconventional practice that will allow a tremendous amount of freedom to enjoy life to the fullest as well as practice high quality medicine. This position is great for a new grad or a seasoned practitioner that has learned that there is more to life than working 24 hours per day, seven days per week. We believe that this is the future of equine veterinary medicine and we are excited to be on the forefront of this change.

This is a salaried, on-call position. This position requires you to be on call 2-3 nights per week and every other weekend in an ambulatory equine practice setting. On average, you could expect to see 2-3 cases per shift. In exchange for being on call you will have EVERY WEEKDAY AND EVERY OTHER WEEKEND OFF. Coming to work for us means that you will get a salary and not have any quotas to fill or metrics to meet. If you join us, there will be no more invasions on your personal time because when you are not on call you will not have any client responsibilities. You will be supplied with a fully stocked truck and any equipment that you need. You will have access to in-house and on-truck bloodwork. 

If you want to join a team that is working to provide solutions for equine practitioners that want to take their lives back, come see us. If you are looking for a way to use that amazing education that you have but also live your life to the fullest, come see us. If you want to treat horses when they need you the most, come see us. If you want to also slow practitioner burnout by helping your fellow veterinarians, come see us.
