Staff Veterinarian (Full-Time & Part-Time)

Have you ever wondered what happens to cats and dogs whose owners are unable to afford veterinary care? The ASPCA’s Community Medicine (CM) team provides expert veterinary care to support the welfare of animals and their people through our stationary and mobile veterinary clinics, serving the most underserved communities in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. We help pet owners overcome barriers to care, bringing quality services directly to the communities that need us most and partially or fully subsidizing the cost of basic and preventive care. CM treats people and pets with dignity and respect, assisting pet owners in making informed decisions about their pets’ health and wellbeing regardless of their financial circumstances. When you come to work at the ASPCA, you join a team of over 1,000 dedicated colleagues with deep knowledge, skills, and passion for the animals we serve.

Help animals in need! Our highly skilled veterinarians, along with support from licensed technicians and assistants, provide essential services to the pets and rescue animals that need us most. CM’s team of medical professionals sees over 100,000 animals every year—and there are many more that need our help. No worrying over the cost of services to your clients, minimal paperwork, no client call backs, no weekends, no on-call or overnight shifts, and no after-hours emergencies. The ASPCA will support you professionally through mentorship and training. If you have surgical experience and have always wanted to become a better, more efficient surgeon and participate in high quality, high volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN), this is your opportunity to learn from the pros.
