"This is the best group of people I've ever worked with," - Dr. Bohnke

(She's been in the business for 40 years—that's a lot of teams!)

Interested in joining the best group of Dr. Bohnke’s ever worked with? You’re in luck because Cimarron Animal Hospital is looking for an associate DVM!

Our ideal candidate:

• Confident early career veterinarian or an experienced DVM
• Experience with small animals (exotic medicine is a plus)
• Ability to perform dental extractions
• Excellent communication skills
• Proficient at typing (we’re paperless)
• Passion for lifelong learning
• Kitty whisperer (we are Cat Friendly Certified)

As the next Associate DVM at our practice, no two days will look alike, but here’s some common responsibilities we ask of our veterinarian team.

• Partner with clients: We have excellent client compliance, which gives us (and you) the opportunity to do “real” medicine
• Provide a Fear Free experience: Our staff is trained in Fear Free patient handling and offers pre-visit calming kits, sedation (as needed), cuddles, and squeezable cheese as a treat–whatever works best for each pet!
• Bond with the Cimarron team: Work with an enthusiastic, skilled team that likes each other (no drama!!) and embraces new techniques and products! You'll have opportunities to learn from an experienced, yet current, DVM who always has your back and is open to learning too
• Utilize our tools: Our hospital is a full-service practice with digital whole body and dental x-ray, K-laser, ultrasound, extensive in-house laboratory, a fully equipped surgical suite, and more
• Interested in after-hour emergencies? Tucson needs more after-hour locations. If you are a DVM who would like to build and operate your own emergency department overnight, we can make that happen! We're also open to growing our internal medicine and dermatology services

At Cimarron, we understand that life outside of practice is equally as important to the job itself. So, what does work/life balance mean to us?

We work hard when we are on duty, but we have time off to play hard too! Flex time is key. Our team is cross-trained, and everyone is willing to cover shifts if something fun or urgent comes up. Our doctors will trade days too so they can have fun, relax, and vacation. Speaking of vacation, we’re less than 4 hours from the beaches of Rocky Point Mexico and 6 hours from San Diego!

Additional benefits include:

• Competitive base (with no negative accrual) + production
• Sign-on/relocation assistance available for eligible candidates
• Medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents (with HSA option)
• 401(k) options
• Annual CE allowance
• Parental leave / bonding time
• Professional development assistance
• Personal pet discounts
• Paid license renewal fees and membership dues
• AVMA PLIT coverage
• Charity donation or sponsorship to a cause you care about
• National Park pass or ski pass
• Plus much more!
