The Animal Emergency Clinic of Central Texas is seeking a short-term relief veterinarian for the months of Jan, Feb, March 2009; we are also seeking a permanent FT associate veterinarian. The AECCT is a 24/7 progressive emergency and critical care facility, located in a suburb of Austin, Tx. The Clinic is equipped with all the requisite tools (digital radiography, in/out hosue lab, ultrasound, etc). Our focus is on the highest standards of medicine and surgery for our patients, as well as staff quality of work life. We work closely with several specialists – surgeon, ophthalmologist, dermatologist, cardiologist, oncologist – who enhance the quality of patient care and doctor job enrichment at the AECCT. Our compensation package and benefits are generous. FT doctor benefits include $2000 towards yearly CE, health/dental insurance, 401K, scrubs, personal pet discount, dues paid (AVMA, VECCS, DEA, DPS), PLIT coverage, year end bonus, in-house CE/Radiology rounds monthly. Doctor scheduling is flexible, in order to enjoy all that Central Texas has to offer!

REQUIREMENTS:
Communication skills – able to work well with a strong support staff; able and willing to round with other doctors during shift change; able to communicate (and document) with clients, especially those who are under duress in the emergent scenario. Must be able to voice concerns professionally and be open to group/case discussions.

Strong medical foundation – must be able to substantiate medical treatments and be will to use the resources at hand, especially other colleagues. We have a close doctor team, 24 hour support for any doctor who needs case feedback. We have regular doctor meetings to discuss continuing education topics, morbidity/mortality rounds, etc.

Strong surgical background – must be able to perform comfortably the “typical” emergency surgeries, including but not limited to: pyometra, c-section, GDV, foreign body removal, bite wounds, amputation, etc. Again, all associates can at any time solicit assistance from other team doctors. We strongly belief in colleague support!

Professional conduct – must be able to maintain professionalism at all times, including demeanor with clients, appearance, personal grooming (we only require scrubs to be worn), handling phone calls and communication with referring veterinarians, arriving on time, etc.

Leadership – must be able to convey leadership and confidence when on shift, such that the support staff comfortably work with and defer to the doctor; the doctor should be able to give commands and monitor the progress of the cases, all while fostering a cohesive environment.

Basic Emergency Skills – including but not limited to : chest tube placement, thoraco and abdominocentesis, tracheostomy, urethral obstruction unblock, jugular catheter, urinary catheterization, etc. We also provide quarterly “wet lab” activities where all basic emergency skillset procedures are reviewed and/or practiced as needed.

Understanding of SOAP – medical records are maintained in a SOAP format, in which documentation is key.

Ability to work overnight shifts – shifts are either 10 hour day shifts, short shifts generally 8 hours, and overnight shifts that are 13 hours. We take scheduling and fatigue very seriously, such that everyone’s needs are taken into consideration, family life, etc. No associate will ever do more than 2 consecutive overnight shifts. Generally each week is an approximate 40 hour work week. Each doctor is expected to stay at the end of shift as long as necessary to complete records and communications; however frequently doctors are able to leave shift early if the case load permits.

Caseload – must be able to handle multiple, sometimes critical, cases at once, keeping the client informed, records up to date and thorough rounding with oncoming doctor for next shift. As expected in emergency veterinary medicine, some shifts are challenging with a high case load, other shifts are more relaxed with simpler cases….

Open minded, sense of humor and ability to handle stress – we believe there is no situation or case we can’t handle to the best of our ability, as long as we depend on each other, respect each other, find humor sometimes in the challenging work we do, and care for our patients as if they were own, our clients as if they were our family. Being an emergency veterinary clinician is a special gift and requires talent in handling stressful situations.
