Description:
Our shelter and community clinic is looking for assistance from veterinarians currently licensed to practice in Massachusetts. Volunteer Veterinarians most often assist by performing spay/neuter procedures, but we also welcome those with a specialized skillset (Exotics, dermatology, etc.)
Due to limited staffing, we are unable to provide training on spay/neuter surgeries; we are looking for veterinarians who already have established surgical skills.
Responsibilities:
- Perform spay/neuter surgeries.
- Additional surgeries as determined by your skillset and the animals scheduled on your volunteer day.
- Complete necessary documentation regarding procedures.
- Communication with shelter staff or owner of an animal in regard to surgery performed.
Qualities/Skills:
- Ability to work well in a small, busy area.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- Proficiency in using a computer without assistance, and learning new programs. All volunteers digitally log hours and use an online scheduling function. This role may additionally use computers to log data from exams, surgery, and treatment.
Requirements:
- Copy of Massachusetts veterinary license
- Proof of professional liability insurance
- Resume
- Please include your average time to complete dog and cat spay/neuter surgery in your application.
- The prior three items can be uploaded during the application process or emailed to nevinsvolunteer@mspca.org.
Time Commitment:
- One full day a month or more preferred. The clinic is closed Sundays.
- Six month commitment preferred – longer commitments welcome!
