We are currently seeking a board certified Criticalist or E/CC residency-trained individual to join our 24 hour/7 day per week emergency hospital. Hong Kong is a city of over 7 million people and more than 400,000 pets; the demand for 24 hour emergency veterinary care is high.

Hong Kong is Asia’s world city; a wonderful city where East meets West, modern fuses with the traditional, metropolis sits next to countryside. Due to its history of being a British colony until 1997, English, along with Chinese, is an official language. There is a large expatriate population, food from all over the world, amazing shopping and culture, with easy access to beaches, hiking trails, nature reserves as well as theme parks such as Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park. Hong Kong also serves as a major transportation hub in Southeast Asia, connecting to many other Asian countries for ease of travel. Many expats move to Hong Kong “for a year or two” but end up making Hong Kong home for much, much longer.

This is truly an exciting opportunity to pave the way for specialized medicine and comprehensive care in Hong Kong and throughout Asia. Our mission is to provide world-class quality, compassionate care and state-of-the-art veterinary medicine to the pets of Hong Kong.

San Francisco & San Leandro, California

VCA San Francisco Veterinary Specialists and VCA Bay Area Veterinary Specialists are seeking board-certified Criticalists or individuals residency-trained in emergency and critical care to join our collegial teams of specialists and emergency doctors in beautiful San Francisco and in the East Bay (the sunny side of the San Francisco Bay Area)!

VCA Bay Area Veterinary Specialists is a large, multi-specialty, 24-hour referral practice in a state-of-the-art facility in San Leandro, California—located just 15 miles south of Berkeley in the East Bay.

The hospital is well established in the community with Internists, Cardiologists, and Oncologists as well as, a Surgeon and a Dermatologist. The clinic has a large emergency and urgent care case load and is ready to add a Criticalist to the team. Naturally, with all these specialists, we also have all the latest “toys” (diagnostic, therapeutic and monitoring) that are needed to support them including a linear accelerator, C-Arm, CT, and DR.

At present we have an opening for a Criticalist to both admit emergent cases transferred from a referring hospital as well as take care of existing hospitalized patients. You will have direct case and client communication responsibilities as opposed to being an in-house "consulting service". Ideally, some ultrasound experience would be preferred, but is not required. The initial schedule will consist of a Friday-Monday daytime schedule while we build the service to a point where a second Criticalist can be hired.

As far as the area is concerned, what can we say? The East Bay has an ideal climate, world-class restaurants and cultural events as well as short drives to some of the most beautiful scenery and prolific outdoor activities in the country. The Northern California Bay Area has it all - beaches, mountains, wine country, ocean, urban, all in one place. All that and a work environment that’s friendly and familial and enables you to practice the highest level of medicine with all the equipment, support and back-up you need. The East Bay is a beautiful area, but if it’s your heart’s desire to live in San Francisco, the big city is just a quick 30 minute drive away.

VCA San Francisco Veterinary Specialists is a large, 24-hour referral and emergency hospital located in the heart of the Mission District of San Francisco, California. This is an opportunity to walk right into a successful VCA specialty hospital, with a reputation for excellence, in one of the most desirable cities in the nation. Our building is composed of gorgeous brick and is a beautifully restored landmarked facility. Our specialty services include oncology, surgery, dermatology, dentistry, cardiology, internal medicine, behavior, neurology and neurosurgery. We also have a very talented group of DVMs that provide emergency and holistic medicine. Our clinic has a large emergency and urgent care case load and we are ready to add a Criticalist to the team.

Our facility provides a dynamic working environment with stellar support staff including skilled, dedicated and compassionate technical staff. Naturally, with all these specialists, we also have all the latest diagnostic, therapeutic and monitoring toys that are needed to support therapeutic and monitoring toys that are needed to support them including a CT, DR and (to be installed within the next quarter) a MRI. In addition, VCA SFVS has a strong internship program. Our specialists play an integral part in the interns’ education - this is just one of the teaching opportunities that will be provided to you as a specialist at VCA San Francisco Veterinary Specialists.

The Criticalist position is a new one for us and thus we seek someone willing, able and eager to help build the service. We are looking for someone interested in seeing emergencies and not limiting themselves to critical patients in the treatment room. We will need you to function as part of the emergency department and assist with case transfers and receiving. You will have direct case and client communication responsibilities as opposed to being a "consulting service". We are looking for someone able to function independently without the constant presence of an intern, be highly cooperative and collegial while eager and happy to teach.

The limiting factor of this opening is the schedule. You must be able and willing to work Friday through Monday for the next two years while we build the service to a point where a second Criticalist can be hired. This schedule is a non-negotiable component for this position. With the exception of vacations or scheduled time off, this is a 100% Friday through Monday position.

Both hospitals offer the benefit of being a part of VCA’s regional specialty hospital network, which offers additional Criticalist colleagues.

We offer competitive compensation along with a comprehensive benefits package, including: Medical, Dental and Vision Coverage; Life and Long-Term Disability Insurance; 401(k) retirement savings plan; Continuing Education allowance; and Professional Liability Coverage.

This is an excellent opportunity to join one of VCA’s premier animal hospitals in one of the greatest regions in the country. If interested, please e-mail resume and cover letter to Dr. Oded Marcovici, Recruiting & Professional Relations Director, at oded.marcovici@vcahospitals.com.
