Are you a GP vet tired of the daily caseload of vaccines and wellness visits, but not quite comfortable tackling the most critical emergencies? Or are you an emergency doctor wanting off overnights but still driven to see a wide variety of cases? Nashville’s premier Emergency and Referral practice, Nashville Veterinary Specialists, is seeking to hire an Urgent Care Veterinarian!

The urgent care veterinarian will have access to on site boarded specialists and can consult with them regarding cases.
