What an associate veterinarian does in New York City

This page does not list open roles. BEGHR recruits associate veterinarians for veterinary employers. Send your resume and a recruiter will contact you when a search matches what you want.

Typical responsibilities, not a specific posting

The points below describe what employers commonly ask of this role. A real opening will differ, and BEGHR will give you the actual detail before any introduction.

• Describe the appointment mix, surgery expectations and schedule.
• Identify who provides mentorship and how clinical escalation works.
• Set realistic production expectations and explain compensation terms.

What to send

A recruiter can only act on what you actually tell them. Give enough that a role can be matched to you without a second round of questions.

• Your resume, the role you want and the geography you would work in.
• The states you hold a license in, and your availability.
• Anything that rules a role out, such as no overnights or no relocation.

Working in the New York City area

Name the borough, neighborhood and street address, and keep Westchester and Long Island municipalities separate from New York City. Several names, such as Hempstead and Huntington, refer to both a town and a smaller village or hamlet, so record the actual municipality. Coverage on this site is limited to New York State; a hospital in New Jersey or Connecticut falls under a different state licensing authority.

Plan New York credential checks before the start date.

New York licenses veterinarians through the State Education Department rather than a separate board website. Assign a person to verify registration status, record the date and resolve questions with the Office of the Professions. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
