Angel Animal Hospital, MO

Description of Elective Experience: 

About Our Clinic: Angel Animal Hospital established a tradition over 60 years of providing compassionate veterinary medical care for patients in the Springfield, MO area. As a full-service, small animal hospital, we offer conventional and integrative (natural/alternative) care for our patients. Our Integrative service also provides care for small and large animals patients using a whole-body, functional medicine approach for health.  Together, our services provide a full line of care including cancer treatment, natural care (with a variety of modalities including chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy and several energy based treatments), conventional medicine & surgery, cryosurgery, dental care, and pain management.  

About Our Location: Located in Greene County, MO, the area abounds with outdoor attractions (Dickerson Park Zoo, golf courses, variety of parks), great restaurants, historic museums, and plenty more to explore. We are also within a short drive of many other attractions and activities throughout the Ozarks region of the country. It is a great place for preceptorship, developing your career and/or family!

About this Opportunity: We are currently a two-doctor practice with 9-12 amazing support staff. We are eager to share our wealth of knowledge and experience in conventional and natural/alternative care with a highly motivated veterinary student preceptor! 

We are seeking a candidate who is a team player, punctual, reliable, responsible, intuitive, willing to learn, and a great communicator with a warm/friendly personality. We foster a team-oriented, positive, and collaborative environment in which our purpose is to practice the highest quality medicine and surgery with compassion and an emphasis on client education. You will get hands-on experience and/or mentorship in all aspects of the services we provide (especially those that interest you the most)!

Additional Benefits: Our current hospital schedule allows preceptors time off on weekends to explore and enjoy the attractions in the surrounding area.  In addition to an excellent mentorship opportunity, successful preceptors will earn priority consideration for future employment opportunities.
