More about the Role

At Mount Carmel Pet Hospital in Mount Carmel TN, we're excited to invite another veterinarian to come join our team! Our ideal candidate will have an interest in dentistry and surgery, but as a general practice in a rural community, you'll get lots of case variety! We enjoy a varied caseload of dogs/cats and small mammals as patients and have all the tools you need to provide comprehensive care.

We love our loyal support staff that consists of both experienced technicians and veterinary assistants who make our work environment fun and laid-back. If this sounds like an opportunity that's too good to pass by, be sure to apply now!

About the area: Nestled in the rolling foothills of northeastern TN, Mount Carmel is located in a peaceful setting with easy access to nearby urban centers.

We're also a short drive from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the popular tourist destinations of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
