Equine Veterinarian

SEEKING EQUINE VETERINARIAN ASSOCIATE: Our practice is growing quickly and we feel there is an opportunity for more growth. We are willing to hire someone for few months before asking for a contracted position; this way we can get to know each other better and see if we are a good fit. Our goal is to have a veterinarian who would work 4-5 days a week and alternate call with the other two Doctors. Huck Equine is a successful, family-owned practice established in 1973 and located in Southeast Missouri, halfway between St. Louis and Memphis.
