Exceptional medicine. Trusted teams. A hospital built for what’s next.
For the formal job posting, I would also add the specific Internal Medicine equipment/procedural capabilities—for example endoscopy, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, CT, or other advanced diagnostics available to the service—because those details are particularly important when recruiting an experienced DACVIM.
