**VCA** **Half Moon Bay Animal** is seeking an **Associate Veterinarian** to complement our talented team in **Half Moon Bay, California.**

**Current students or new graduates, apply today!**

VCA takes pride in expanding the growth and skill set of new veterinarians. We welcome newly graduated veterinarians (and current veterinary students) to apply to this position where they will receive individualized support with our 6-month mentorship program and a collaborative hospital team environment.

We are a four-vet practice, located in Half Moon Bay (south of San Francisco and west of San Mateo). We are a reverse commute for many.

The hospital is spacious, with lots of natural light, and recently remodeled, with four exam rooms, an isolation unit, comfort room, surgical and radiology suites. We have digital radiography (including dental) and ultrasound.

**Schedule** : We are open six days a week (Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Saturday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm) with no on-call hours.

Our hospital is a lunch-break walk from the ocean and in the middle of an adorable downtown area with shops and restaurants. We are uniquely situated in a semi-rural locality but with ready access to both San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Ironically, our housing is more affordable than in other parts of the San Francisco Peninsula. Our region is known for lovely trails to bike or walk among redwood groves or along the seashore, with skiing and other outdoor opportunities just a few hours drive away.

We have a huge client base, in an affluent but very down-to-earth area. Our community is a mix of families, Techies from Silicon Valley, and surfers.
