VCA Mission San Jose Animal Hospital located in Fremont, California, is looking for an Associate Veterinarian who enjoys practicing advanced medicine with a cohesive, tenured team.

Fremont, California is a beautiful city, surrounded by foothills that are full of hiking trails, including the infamous Mission Peak Trail and Elizabeth Lake.  Take a little drive to San Francisco, where you can visit places like The Academy of Science, Alcatraz, and the de Young Museum, to name a few.  Another short drive can get you to the beaches of Santa Cruz, Capitola, Carmel, Monterey, and Half Moon Bay. 

As part of the VCA family, we are supported in our efforts to provide affordable pet care to the surrounding communities through our CareClub Wellness Plans that help make preventative recommendations affordable and payable over a 12 month promotional period; spay, neuter and dental procedures can be added too!  We are equipped with digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house blood analyzers.  To top it off, we have great clients that trust in our care and are compliant in our recommendations.

We are currently open Monday thru Friday, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, with 4/10 hour shifts a week, making work-life-balance a real possibility, not just a dream.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a motivated veterinarian to continue practicing medicine while establishing the direction and medical quality of the hospital like a practice owner. Plus, you'll have the solid backing of experts in Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Payroll, and more, to help you succeed.
