Requirements
Atlas is proud to be working on behalf of a well-established, predominantly equine veterinary hospital in Missouri that is looking to welcome an experienced Associate Veterinarian with a genuine passion for equine medicine. This is a busy, progressive, six-doctor practice with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality care across a wide spectrum of equine disciplines from backyard companions to high-level sport horses.
