Veterinary Criticalist-Catskill Veterinary Services

Captain the ICU. Mentor the Floor. Design the Future.

Catskill Veterinary Services is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible Criticalist to join our team. As the primary referral hub for Sullivan County and the Hudson Valley, we handle the trauma, the toxicity, and the complex medical crises that other clinics turn away. We are looking for a medical leader—someone who wants to practice high-level Critical Care in a private practice setting that offers the caseload of a tertiary referral center with the agility of a doctor-owned hospital.

Highly Competitive Compensation

• Generous Base Salary
• Production percentages (with no negative accrual) commensurate with experience and Board status

Top-of-the-Line ICU Resources

• Advanced monitoring
• Oxygen support
• Transfusion medicine capabilities
• Stat diagnostics

"Closed" Ecosystem

• You aren't just seeing external referrals. You have a massive internal network of General Practice and Emergency Veterinarians across three locations feeding complex medical cases directly to your ICU service

Future Growth

• You will have a direct voice in establishing the workflow and layout of our new Critical Care Unit

About Catskill Veterinary Services

• We are the "Full Scope" medical hub for the region. We bridge the gap between local primary care and tertiary referral centers.
• We see it all—DKA, septic abdomen, polytrauma, IMHA/ITP, and respiratory distress. We need a specialist to manage these cases long-term and elevate the standard of care for our hospitalized patients.
• We are committed to saying "yes" to complex cases. Our community relies on us to provide the level of care that usually requires a 2-hour drive to a university.
• We are a short, scenic drive to NYC. You can enjoy the city culture on your days off, but live in an area with a lower cost of living, more land, and less traffic.
• The Hudson Valley is the food and drink capital of New York State. Enjoy farm-to-table dining, world-class wineries, and a vibrant art scene (Storm King, Dia: Beacon, Bethel Woods).
• Decompress after a shift by hiking Minnewaska, kayaking the Hudson or Delaware Rivers, or skiing in the winter.

What We Are Looking For

• Credentials: DVM/VMD + Board Certification (DACVECC) OR Board Eligible (active residency completion)
• NYS License: Current license (or ability to obtain one)
• Leadership: A desire to serve as a clinical leader for the Emergency Department, helping to refine protocols and elevate the quality of medicine
• Collaboration: A specialist who views the referring GP/ER vets as partners. We value a collaborative approach to case management

The Benefits Package

• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Competitive Salary: $200,000-250,000/yr, (plus bonus incentive)
• Flexible Scheduling
• Continuing Education (CE): Annual CE allowance and paid days off
• 401(k) with employer match
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Aflac Supplemental Insurance
• Professional Fees Paid: NYS License, DEA, PLIT, and AVMA/NYSVMS/VECCS dues
• Uniform Allowance: Scrubs/lab coats provided
• Employee Discounts: Generous discounts on pet care for your own pets
