Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is welcoming a full-time, Board Certified Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist to join our dedicated pet health care team.

 

Come work and play in one of the most beautiful cities in the world! Victoria enjoys the mildest climate of any city in Canada, and boasts the rugged, natural beauty of the Pacific coast.

 

Join us in providing state of the art veterinary care in our brand new 20,000 sq. Ft. facility.  This hospital is well equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, CT and MRI imaging, radiation therapy, on-site diagnostic laboratory, and advanced monitoring equipment.

 

Our Intensive Care Unit will enable us to provide patient support and pain and anesthesia case consultations for all internal cases, as well as critical case care on a referral basis.
