This is an opportunity to step into a well-equipped environment and shape the future of the department with both clinical excellence and leadership inuence.

• A built-in referral base from GP, ER, and specialty—complex cases are already here
• True autonomy to shape and lead your own department (not just follow a system)
• Daily collaboration with surgery, neurology, cardiology, anesthesia, and ECC
• The ability to explore metabolic medicine, cancer, and longevity in a real clinical setting
• A dedicated research team, including a rst-of-its-kind privately owned Veterinary

The Environment (Not Just the Philosophy)

Between cases, you can:
