Join a Progressive Talented ER and Specialty Team on the warm, sunny coast of South Carolina!

New River Veterinary Specialists is growing our Emergency Department for our new custom-built 15,000 square foot facility opening in the Early Summer 2022. 

We believe that there should be no barriers between emergency doctors and specialists.  Daily all-doctor case rounds provide opportunities for continuous learning.  Emergency clinicians work side-by-side with a group of specialists with ample opportunity to manage critical care patients and benefit from the referral hospital environment.  Our emergency clinicians do much more than just “see the door.”  Complete diagnostic work-ups and manage complex cases, all with specialist support, and develop the skills to be a true critical care clinician!  

NRVS has a full in-house lab, 16 slice helical CT, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology suite, multiple ultrasounds, in house blood bank and component therapy, arthroscopy, laparoscopy, minimally invasive surgery, full service sports medicine and rehabilitation department, and a dedicated intensive care unit including long-term mechanical ventilation. 

Our Emergency Department is supported fully by specialists Board Certified in Emergency and Critical Care, Surgery, Rehabilitation and Internal Medicine, among other specialties. We are searching for a clinician who enjoys working closely with other specialists and other emergency doctors and practices top-tier medicine. At NRVS, our clinicians are our most valuable asset and we’ll give you the tools you need to practice at the highest level.  Our current emergency team is experienced with 5 years, >10 years and >15 years experience and together with an on-site Criticalist, there is ample opportunity for ER-specific mentorship and personal growth.  Have you ever wanted to make the switch to ER?  We enjoy teaching and sharing our passion for emergency and critical care! 

We understand that practice can be stressful and we value family and work-life balance.  We provide an exceptional benefits package: Shift differential for swing and overnight shifts, industry leading guaranteed base + 25% production, pet insurance for 2 pets, comprehensive health/dental/vision insurance, exceptional CE allowance, organization dues/licensure, 401K, paid time off and more!  A combination of day, swing, evening and weekend shifts are available.  We are striving to have a fixed long term schedule for each emergency doctor to avoid constant shift changes and to improve quality of life. 

Our privately-owned facility is located 30 minutes from historic Savannah, GA and 20 minutes from the beaches of Hilton Head Island, SC.  The Bluffton, SC region is family friendly with a walkable downtown, frequent festivals and outdoor events, access to beautiful coastal waterways for boating and fishing, and close access to the historic Savannah, GA waterfront or Hilton Head Island, a top vacation destination.  

Inquiries are treated with complete confidentiality.
