## About

## Company Description

Are you a dedicated and compassionate Criticalist looking for a fulfilling role alongside an exceptional emergency team? At AESC, we’re more than just a hospital — we’re a community of professionals who love what we do, support one another, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in emergency veterinary care.

We are currently seeking a **board-certified (or board-eligible) Veterinary Criticalist – Hospitalist** to join our team in a flexible, daytime-only role. This is an opportunity to practice high-quality medicine in a collaborative, well-supported, and ever-evolving environment.

**What Makes Us Stand Out**

🐾 **Specialty Support You Can Count On** Our hospital is proud to offer direct access to a variety of specialists, all under one roof:

- **Dr. Jared Williams**, DACVIM, provides internal medicine services through **Ozark Veterinary Specialty Care** within our facility.
- **Dr. Mark Sharp**, DVM, has a special interest and years of experience in orthopedic and soft tissue surgery.
- **Dr. Winter**, a board-certified veterinary dentist, provides advanced dental care twice monthly.
- **Dr. Hodgson**, DVM, brings expertise and focused training in ophthalmology.
- We also offer **on-site MRI and CT** capabilities to support advanced diagnostics and timely treatment.

**Home to Arkansas’s First and Only Veterinary Blood Bank**

Our in-house **Veterinary Blood Bank- The Animal Blood Bank of NWA** supplies plasma and packed red blood cells to our patients and clinics throughout Northwest Arkansas and the Alliance network. As a Criticalist, you’ll have immediate access to lifesaving transfusion products when seconds matter.

**K9 Trauma Response Program** We proudly train local K9 police units in field trauma response and supply them with complete trauma kits, helping protect the working dogs that protect our communities.

**A Strong, Skilled Support Team** We are proud to employ a large team of dedicated Certified Veterinary Technicians, including multiple CVTs pursuing ECC certification. You'll work alongside a cohesive and highly trained staff that allows you to focus on your expertise.

**Community-Centered and Mission-Driven** We’re deeply engaged with local rescues, shelters, and community outreach — because our impact extends beyond our clinic walls.

## Job Description

We’re looking for a Criticalist who is confident managing hospitalized patients and critical care cases in a busy emergency setting. Strong clinical skills, excellent communication, and a collaborative spirit are key.

**What You’ll Enjoy:**

- **Flexible daytime schedule with limited weekends**
- Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits
- Support from ER clinicians, specialists, and highly skilled technicians
- A robust caseload with opportunity for mentorship and growth
- A positive, fun-loving culture built on respect, collaboration, and clinical excellence

**Why Northwest Arkansas?**

Whether you're a nature lover, foodie, or culture seeker, you'll find your place in NWA.
