Description
We are searching for one or two full-time mixed animal veterinarians in Miles City, MT. The practice is currently 50% food animal, 40% small animal and 10% equine. Two full-time and one part-time veterinarians share those duties and are looking to add more. The positions can be filled by someone interested in either large or small animal practice or a mixture of both.
Our large animal practice is based on cow-calf production and includes three counties in eastern MT. A clinic vehicle, Silencer chute, E.I. Medical Ibex or EVO ultrasound, and Pulsator IV ejaculators are available for herd work. The majority of individual animal assessments including obstetrical procedures are brought into the clinic. Ranch visits are mostly within 130 miles. There are also some smaller backgrounding feedlots (500-4000 head) that we serve as well as a few sheep flocks.
The small animal portion of the practice includes gas anesthesia, in-house CBC and chemistry units, digital radiography, ultrasonic scaler and Dentalaire cart for dental procedures. We do soft tissue surgery and some basic orthopedic procedures including lateral suture repair for cruciate tears and also bone pinning and plating.
Equine services include routine and cryptorchid castrations, umbilical hernia repair, teeth floating, basic lameness exams and basic reproductive services. Intensive medical needs and surgical colic cases are referred to Billings, which is about two hours away.
All areas of practice are active but open to expansion of services.
Clinic hours are 9:00 am to 5:30 pm (closed over the noon hour) daily M-F and Saturday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. On-call hours will be split evenly between full-time veterinarians, with the on-call vet working the Saturday hours. We also employ technicians and receptionists for support staff.
Salary is negotiable. Liability insurance paid. Two weeks paid vacation. State VMA dues, AVMA dues and one professional membership paid. Also, the clinic will pay for CE registration fees and lodging for meetings.
Miles City is a community of approximately 8,500 people and is an economic and social hub of eastern MT. There are plenty of local groups to be involved in, whether music, theater, athletics or western heritage. Hunting and fishing opportunities are present here in Custer County. For those who enjoy mountain activities such as skiing, hiking or fly fishing, the mountains of MT are about a three-hour drive.
New graduates are certainly welcome to apply. We are looking for versatile people who are looking to explore their own pursuits in a general small-town veterinary practice. Contact us at (406)234-2559 or email to milescityvet@gmail.com
