Job Details
Position Purpose:
Practice With Independence. Share Cases with Colleagues.
"Big City Care, Right Here at Home” is how we’ve always described what we do at Animal Medical Center in Claremore, Oklahoma. When we tell someone about our practice, we start with our team. Our five RVTs and two assistants are the cream of the crop, and we put their skills to work. Our three doctors share cases with each other throughout the day. We enjoy hearing how each doctor would approach a case, and when you join us, we’ll want to hear your take, too.
We’ll Walk Alongside You
Every surgical procedure, diagnostic test, and medical procedure we offer is available to you as a new doctor on our team. We trust you to use your clinical judgment, and we’re here to assist, offer direction, or simply walk alongside you. Whether you’re learning a procedure or want another set of eyes on a case, just ask.
Dogs and Cats? Farm Calls, too?
You can focus on dogs and cats or choose mixed practice and add large animal cases and farm calls to your week. Either way, you’ll typically have two support team members to assist you.
A Look Around the Practice
We have three ultrasound units (one stationary and two portable), stationary and portable radiology, digital dental X-rays, and an in-house IDEXX lab.
Our facility has a sterile surgery suite, a dedicated dental procedure room, separate feline exam rooms and a feline ward, and haul-in facilities for large animals. We also offer house and farm visits.
We have a CO₂ surgical laser, Sonequence surgical equipment, two therapeutic laser units, and regenerative medicine. We use Scribenote to help with charting as we move toward a paperless practice.
Four Weekdays. Let’s Talk Saturdays.
Small animal: Four weekdays, one Saturday morning a month (8 a.m. to noon), and no on call.
Mixed animal: Four weekdays, with Saturday and on-call coverage. Dr. Gilsleider is happy to talk through your hours and how coverage is shared.
Essential Responsibilities:
From Wellness Visits to the Cases, We Talk Through Together
You’ll see wellness visits, work up sick patients, and help clients understand their options. You’ll perform routine surgery and dentistry, with support as you learn new procedures. You’ll work alongside our doctors, RVTs, and assistants to coordinate care and keep clear medical records. If you choose mixed practice, you’ll also see large animal patients in the clinic and on farm calls.
Requirements/Qualifications:
Fresh Diploma or Well-Worn Stethoscope?
New grads, bring your questions. Experienced vets, tell us what you’d like to do more of. We’d like to hear from you either way.
You’ll need a DVM, VMD, or equivalent veterinary degree by your start date and a current Oklahoma veterinary license or eligibility to obtain one.
Benefits Offered:
What’s in It for You?
We offer competitive base pay plus the opportunity to earn production pay, flexible paid time off, a continuing education allowance, and dedicated CE days.
Benefits also include support for licensure, professional dues, and liability insurance, along with medical, dental, and vision options and student loan assistance for eligible veterinarians.
