Veterinarian -Internist

About the role

This is an opportunity to practice advanced internal medicine in one of Southern California’s most established specialty hospitals—fully accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association—supported by a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team and a strong, loyal referral community across the greater Los Angeles area.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Established, high-volume specialty hospital with a strong referral base throughout Los Angeles
• Opportunity to grow and shape the Internal Medicine service within a respected, AAHA-accredited institution
• Collaborative environment with tenured specialists and experienced clinical leadership
• Robust technician support with a strong focus on patient care and efficiency
• Unique access to advanced emergency resources, including a regional blood and anti-venom bank

About the Hospital

Fully accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the hospital meets rigorous standards across patient care, safety, and clinical excellence. Formerly known as the Animal Emergency Centre, the hospital was established in 1980 and has been serving the community from its Studio City location since 2005. Today, it remains a cornerstone of emergency and specialty care in the region. The hospital also serves as the primary veterinary blood and anti-venom bank for the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area, supporting critical cases such as snake bites and severe trauma emergencies.
