Established in 1979, Western Veterinary Clinic in South Bend, Indiana has been proud to serve creatures of all sizes and many shelters in the Michiana area including South Bend Animal Resource Center, SJCHS, and Pet Refuge. We are a full-service clinic for dogs, cats, pocket pets, exotics, equines, (and more!) doing routine veterinary care, grooming, along with sophisticated surgery and treatment for major illnesses or injuries. Our multi-doctor practice is looking for a Full-Time Associate Veterinarian to join our established team.
This is a perfect fit for a new grad looking for experience in a little bit of everything, or an experienced vet looking for a long tenured team. We are proud of our reputation in the community for providing compassionate care to our patients, and our ability to foster a supportive environment for our employees. Our full-time doctor schedules consist of a 4-day workweek with rotating Saturdays. Generally, we refer out to an ER after-hours.
About Our Hospital
South Bend, IN is located on the Westside of Michiana. This area is known to be a welcoming and growing city. South Bend has something to offer everyone! The area offers many state parks, quick access to Michigan wine country, baseball, golf courses, casinos, and more. In addition, we are less than 45 minutes away from the Great Lakes and an hour and a half from downtown Chicago!
I would highly recommend anyone to work for a Vetcor clinic because of all the available resources they offer to their employees! These resources vary from continuing education to the importance of mental health and not burning out. Stonebridge has been one of the best places I have worked and has done nothing but help me pursue my goal of becoming an LVT.
There are programs including VetLife Days and Lend-a-Hand that allow you to spend time at other clinics. I have met some wonderful colleagues this way and have also been able to expand my leadership skills within Vetcor. I actually learned that I love teaching and supporting other veterinarians, especially new graduates. I love soft tissue surgery, so to be able to pass on that knowledge and skill set to new grads, giving them the confidence and skills they need to excel, has been very rewarding. It has been an amazing journey with Vetcor so far and I am excited to continue to be part of this amazing group.
The mentorship and advice from the Vetcor Chief of Staff Advisors have helped me become a better veterinarian and surgeon. They have filled me with confidence in order to become a better leader. Vetcor has been a great corporation to work for.
There is a career path for everybody and not a one size fits all approach.
