Staff veterinarian will be needed beginning January 2008. Our associate, Dr. Calder, will be leaving us for a teaching position at Auburn University. We desire an enthusiastic, thoughtful, friendly individual who is an accomplished listener and communicator. This individual needs to possess a desire to continually grow their knowledge base and skills so that our practice will become even better at what we do-improve and extend the lives of our client's pets. We encourage continuing education and pursuing special interests by providing a healthy CE allowance and by allowing our associate to help direct our equipment purchases. We also provide education for our support staff by helping them teach one another, by providing inhouse CE for the staff by the doctors, and by sending them to CE meetings.

Our practice is well equipped -- the most recent additions being a digital dental xray unit and a high speed dental unit. Our work schedule is family and dog friendly to enable our staff to be attentive parents, spouses, and pet owners. We are part of a 4 practice emergency rotation and our practice is on call one weeknight per week and one weekend out of every four.

We offer competitive salary and benefits and are willing to negotiate. The possibility for partnership or ownership will be considered after two years.

The midcoast of Maine is a beautiful place to live. We are right next to the ocean and the kayaking, sailing, and fishing are fantastic. Winter sports abound and this part of Maine attracts artists, writers, and musicians. (If you need to be close to a shopping mall this is not the location for you.) If you are wondering about the quality of your present life this may be the perfect position for you.

Send resume and introduction letter to Dr. Laurie Howarth, 14 Atlantic Hwy Waldoboro, ME 04572 or fax 207 563-2235.
