Relief Veterinarian - Temporary

Overview

Looking for a part‑time or relief veterinarian opportunity at the Animal Medical Center of Mid‑America (AMCMA). Our veterinary hospitals offer digital radiography, digital dental radiography, ultrasound, in‑house laboratory, therapeutic laser, full‑service dentistry, and a complete range of soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. Our Pain Management Centers also offer rehabilitation services.

The scheduled relief veterinarian picks up clinic shifts to cover planned staff absences such as vacation and maternity leave. There is also an opportunity for short‑notice clinical shifts with an increased pay differential, such as covering for unexpected staff illness. All shifts include scheduled clinic wellness and sick visits with occasional same‑day sick visits and do not include surgery.

AMCMA is AAHA accredited and Fear Free Certified. We are part of the Humane Society of Missouri (HSMO), and as such the proceeds from the clinic support the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of animals at the HSMO Animal Shelter.

Clinic hours are Monday‑Friday, 8 am to 6 pm and Saturday 8 am to 4 pm. Shifts are 8.5 hours long Monday‑Friday (8 hours on Saturday) with 1 hour blocked for lunch and a 30‑minute “vet time out” break.

We have digital radiology and dental radiology, in‑house IDEXX CBC, chemistry, Sedivue urinalysis and digital cytology. Typically, we have 3‑4 doctors seeing a mix of wellness and illness appointments typical of a general practice.
