We build veterinary medicine around great people.

Partner Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center (PVESC) is a women-founded, led, and owned business committed to reimagining a profession from the inside out. Our leadership team has a reputation for building and retaining happy and healthy teams and founded Partner Veterinary to give more professionals the optimal environment to do the job they love. 

We’re excited to take our next step on this mission by opening two Emergency and Specialty Centers, fall of 2023, in Frederick, MD and Richmond, VA. Partner is hiring for both full-time and part-time Emergency Veterinarians for both locations.
 

We consider ER to be its own specialty department, tasked with triaging, stabilizing, and treating emergent patients. The ER is the heart of the Partner hospitals, and we are committed to reinforcing collaborative and effective communication among all departments, with a combination of open dialogue and a culture and buildings designed around supporting the emergency department and promoting collaboration all throughout the practice.
 

We have spent years listening to the pain points of those on the front lines of Emergency Medicine and creating plans to solve them.

You’re done with: 

• Short-staffed, burned-out teams

• Resource issues, broken equipment, divided priorities

• Doctor and team member mentorship, both at onboarding and throughout career
• Buildings designed around patient care and collaboration

• All team members receive PTO prior to beginning work to re-center and focus on their wellbeing and interests
• Optimal team utilization- focus is on everyone practicing at the top of their license made possible by utilization of scribes, client care advocates, intentional case management, role definition, and scheduling. Focus on patients, not paperwork. 
• Triage and ICU doctors on shift together to effectively manage in hospital and receiving cases
• Robust team recruiting pipeline
• High level resource management to ensure optimal and functional equipment and supplies
• Integrated EMR and digital treatment sheet system with extensive bank of medical templates and protocols
• Unique wellness benefits

Our 20,000 square foot reimagined building and team design includes:

• Conscious and deliberate building design layout that encourages interdepartmental communication and collaboration
• In-house lab equipment
• Digital radiology 
• Digital cytology
• Emergency ultrasound
