Full company description

Being part of VetStrategy is about being part of something bigger – an ever-growing community, where we connect person-to-person and skill-to-need, united by a common purpose of healthy animals, happy owners. From our humble beginning in 2006 to the present day, we continue to make a difference in the lives of people who have dedicated themselves to this industry. When VetStrategy co-founders Orin Litman and his wife, Dr. Michelle Cutler, decided to acquire McLean Animal Hospital in 2006, they focused on three promises – our Customer Promise of world-class veterinary care, delivered locally; our People Promise, to be a great place to work; and our Sustainability Promise to be a force for good for patients, people and our plant. Keeping our three promises led VetStrategy to become the leading veterinary network in Canada, with veterinary practices, 24-hour emergency care, and specialty hospitals coast-to-coast. We have developed and refined a model for supporting our practices across the country. What we do: We care for those dedicated to caring for animals by creating a workplace where we focus on innovation, engagement, and teamwork. We know the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into building each practice, and we don’t want to touch that – we truly embrace the uniqueness of each clinic. Our heritage first approach means we won’t change a clinic’s name, culture or heritage. We understand the challenges our veterinary teams face and are committed to doing what’s right – for them, their clients, and their patients. We care about the future of veterinary medicine. Everything we do comes back to ensuring that veterinarians have the time, support, and infrastructure to focus on responsible medicine and quality care. We believe in empowering our support office and clinic staff and providing them opportunities to develop their skills and grow in their careers.

The Veterinary Specialty Centre of Newfoundland and Labrador is the province’s only specialty referral center and full-service emergency hospital. It was originally founded to make sure that no pet owner would have to leave the province to get the proper care their pet needs.

We have the only board-certified radiologist in the province, regular locum board-certified surgeons, a CT scanner, as well as an MRI machine. We run a canine blood donor program and have the only ICU that is fully staffed 24 hours a day, Sunday – Thursday. When it comes to diagnosing and treating the pets of Newfoundland and Labrador, there is nothing we can't do!

Through our comprehensive approach, we are able to provide the opportunity to practice gold standard medicine. As an emergency and referral hospital, our emergency department handles an exciting and diverse caseload, inspiring lifelong learning and growth. We are a hospital that cares strongly for our patients. Our motto is: expert care, close to home!

We are seeking a passionate and skilled Emergency Doctor to join our exceptional team.

Our hospital offers a stimulating, fast-paced work environment where teamwork and high-quality care is at the heart of what we do. Outside a team that works together like family day-to-day, work–life balance is strongly encouraged and supported, as schedules are optimized to provide balance and minimize fatigue.

By joining us, you’ll be able to enjoy downtime experiencing a wide variety of activities in the St John’s area of Newfoundland. From hiking trails and other outdoor adventures, whale watching and historical sites, to a vibrant downtown area with world-renowned restaurants, a thriving arts community, and a varied social scene.

Our ideal candidate is client/patient centered, with strong communication and people skills. This person is self-motivated, confident in their medical abilities and able to collaborate with other doctors, as needed.
