What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Surgeon LOCUM Coverage position at ANIMAL EMERGENCY & REFERRAL CENTER OF MINNESOTA?
LOCUM coverage needed April 2026 - September 2026. You will be working with one other board-certified surgeon and a fantastic team. Coverage can be some or all of the block.
As Minnesota's largest locally owned emergency and specialty hospital, Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota has been caring for pets-and the people who love them-since 1980. We're proud of our roots in this community and remain dedicated to providing trusted, long-term care for years to come. We're owned by veterinarians - both in the community and on our staff. And we're managed by the same people who work in the hospital every day-leaders who know the job, the patients, and the pressure-because they've lived it too.
AERC offers true multispecialty collaboration-with boarded specialists in emergency and critical care, cardiology, dentistry, dermatology, internal medicine, radiology, surgery, oncology, neurology, and exotics-all under one roof in our state-of-the-art, newly constructed, 47,000 sq. ft. facility spanning three floors. AERC's stable and supportive environment is reflected in the tenure of our specialists-many of whom have been with us for more than a decade as they've built and expanded their departments.
We offer what no other hospital in Minnesota can: the advanced medicine and collaboration of a large multispecialty hospital, and the heart, stability, and support of a locally-owned practice that's been here for over four decades.
