Harvester Animal Clinic was founded in 1976. The hospital recently moved to a state of the art, 3,500 sq foot, free standing facility in St Peters. Harvester Animal Clinic is privately owned and part of a network of 3 private owned practices in the St Louis area that believes in providing comprehensive and dedicated service to our clients and patients. The team constantly seeks to develop their skills by studying, attending continuing education, and by mentoring one another.
Early Career Veterinarians: We recognize that veterinarians who are early in their careers will need support from our experienced doctors and technicians. We try to ensure that there is always a doctor available in the hospital for consultation. While we will not look over your shoulder, we want to ensure that you have the resources you need to succeed. It's not uncommon to see our owner doctor staying late to answer questions and help out on cases at the request of other doctors. While we offer our perspective, we are excited by your knowledge and opinions. We ensure that our doctors are given the opportunity to attend short courses in their area of interest during their first year of employment. As an example, one of our 2022 graduates just completed the five day course in orthopedic surgery at the North American Veterinary Institute in Orlando. Together we will map out a plan for your professional development.
Experienced Veterinarians: The position offers experienced veterinarians the opportunity to grow their skills in medicine and if they so choose, management. All of our doctors are viewed as partners in the practice and we are developing an equity program for all key staff members. We are committed to growing our doctors into the next generation of leadership for our practices. You are not a hired gun, you are part of our family.
Medically, we will support your development in the areas of soft tissue surgery, orthopedics, ultrasound, endoscopy, exotics/pocket pets as well as other areas of practice. We have a residency trained zoological veterinarian in the practice as well as 3 doctors with over 25 years of experience each.
As a result of our dedication, the practice is growing rapidly at our private-owned locations in St. Louis, MO and St. Peters, MO. This enables us to reward our veterinarians and staff with above average compensation at all experience levels. Benefits include:
