About the role

Job Description

SAGE Veterinary Center in San Francisco is seeking a full-time residency trained or board-certified Veterinary Criticalist to join our outstanding team! 


Our culture:

      Our positive and collaborative culture is palpable throughout our unique hospital. This translates into delivering exceptional medicine, patient care, and client service. We are committed to the growth and welfare of all our colleagues and are excited to explore our Critical care position with you!

The role

     This position will be a hybrid of hospitalist/inpatient shifts with some receiving to meet our current model. Additionally our robust internship program provides a great opportunity for Criticalists to teach and capture some revenue from supervising interns seeing cases. Opportunities also exist for Criticalists with ancillary skills like endoscopy and basic emergency surgery to practice in these spaces. 


Our team:     Includes specialists in medical oncology, cardiology, internal medicine, neurology, surgery, radiology, anesthesia, critical care and an experienced ER team including multiple internship trained emergency doctors. Our support staff includes a highly trained team of RVT’s including a VTS in ECC as well as a specialty-specific CSR for each service. Our hospital includes a fully equipped ICU, three modern surgical suites with minimally invasive surgery capabilities, C-arm, an EEG/EMG unit, as well as on-site CT and a GE Signa 1.5T MRI. 


Our location 

     We are located in the Mission District, a vibrant mix of residential, workplace, dining, and retail spaces. We are within walking distance from the beautiful and eclectic Mission Dolores Park where residents and their pets amass every weekend to soak up the views, vibes, and sunshine. We share the neighborhood and foster close ties with multiple pet boarding facilities, the city’s busiest primary care and animal shelter practice, a senior dog rescue, and the animal care and control department. The city is a recreation paradise featuring easy access to biking, hiking, surfing, and countless adventures. We are within day-trip driving distance to Lake Tahoe, Yosemite National Park, the Napa/Sonoma wine regions, and the breathtaking California coast.
