Build a Specialty Service That Reflects the Way You Practice Medicine

Violet Crown Veterinary Specialists (VCVS) is seeking board-certified or residency-trained ACVIM specialists in Internal Medicine and Cardiology to join our growing specialty and emergency hospital in Austin, Texas.

Whether you’re an internist looking to build a comprehensive Internal Medicine service or a cardiologist interested in expanding advanced cardiac care, you’ll find the autonomy, collaboration, and support needed to build a thriving specialty practice.

As Austin’s only privately owned specialty and emergency hospital, we offer specialists something increasingly rare—the opportunity to shape how a service grows while practicing alongside a collaborative team that values exceptional medicine, innovation, and work-life balance.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love the opportunity to build a specialty service my way,” we’d love to connect.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most specialty opportunities fall into one of two categories:

• Walking into an established service with limited flexibility or influence.
• Joining a large corporate system where major decisions are made far from the exam room.
  
  

VCVS offers something different.

As a privately owned specialty hospital, our specialists have direct access to leadership and meaningful influence over how services are developed, supported, and expanded.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build and grow a specialty service with long-term vision.
• Influence workflow, scheduling, and clinical protocols.
• Develop referral relationships throughout Central Texas.
• Collaborate daily with Emergency, Surgery, Oncology, and future specialty services.
• Help guide future equipment purchases and specialty expansion.
• Practice in one of the fastest-growing veterinary referral markets in Texas.
  
  

Your expertise won’t simply be appreciated—it will help shape the future of our hospital.
