Associate Veterinarian

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

At Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society, veterinary medicine is about more than treating animals when they are sick. It's about advancing animal wellbeing, building trust through behavior-based care, supporting conservation, and helping ensure the best possible quality of life for the incredible animals in our care.

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

We are seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join our Wildlife Care & Conservation team and play an essential role in the health and wellbeing of the animals that call Palm Beach Zoo home.

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

Your Impact

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

As an Associate Veterinarian, you'll provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for our resident zoo animals-from preventive and routine care to diagnostics and emergency medicine. You'll work closely with animal care leadership, veterinary professionals, animal care staff, and outside specialists to continually improve the health and welfare of our collection.

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

But your impact won\t stop at the hospital.

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

Palm Beach Zoo has a strong culture of behavioral training and voluntary participation in medical care. Our veterinary team is integrated into this approach, creating opportunities to use animal behavior and positive training techniques to make veterinary procedures safer, less stressful, and more empowering for the animals in our care.

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

You'll also have opportunities to contribute your veterinary expertise to the Zoo's local and global wildlife conservation efforts following a successful onboarding period.
