About this role

Do you thrive when the pressure is on and the cases are anything but routine? At Airport Animal Emergi-Center, you'll find your stride in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment where you're supported, challenged, and empowered to do your best work. If you want a team that has your back through every critical moment, we'd love to meet you.

Where You’ll Work
You'll practice at Greater Indianapolis' dedicated emergency hospital. Here, you cover the moments general practice hours can't: the late-night emergencies, the weekend scares, the cases that can't wait for regular hours. 

Our culture is built on teamwork, compassion, and mutual respect. You'll join a workplace where you feel valued and connected, and where leadership is committed to your well-being, a healthy work-life balance, and your continued growth. It's a place people enjoy coming to, shift after shift.

Our Hospital

  • Dedicated emergency and urgent care for dogs and cats, occasional pocket pets  
  • Best in class ratio of experienced support team to DVM, allowing you to focus on patient care  
  • 5 exam rooms built for efficient, high-acuity care
  • Latest technology including IDEXX in-house labs, AI scribe services, ultrasound, digital radiography, laser therapy
  • Hours: open continuously Thursday at 6pm through Tuesday at 8am; Tuesday and Wednesday, 6:00pm to 8:00am

Grow Your Skills, Your Way

  •  Individualized mentorship programs 
  •  Annual CE allowance, including extra paid time off to use it plus dues and license fees
  •  Specialized CE in emergency and critical care medicine    
  •  25+ veterinarians collaborating across multiple hospitals

What We Offer You

  • Area’s most competitive compensation with salary uncapped: our full-time doctors on average make $360K+ based on salary and performance 
  • Sign-on bonus, student loan assistance, and/or relocation assistance that is customized for you
  • 401(k) with a generous company match
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Competitive PTO package
  • Flexible schedules available - Full-Time, Part Time, or Relief
  • Employee discount

Why You’ll Love Indianapolis
There's so much to do in Indianapolis, and with a cost of living about 14.3% below the national average, your paycheck goes further here than in most major metros. You'll find a big-city food and museum scene, parks and green spaces, and pro sports year-round (Fever, Pacers, and Colts). Beyond the city, there's the Indy 500, the NCAA Final Four, and Big Ten tournaments. It's just as good a place to settle in as it is to explore, with surrounding suburbs known for their great schools, welcoming neighborhoods, and close-knit communities.

What sets AAEC apart:
When you join Airport Animal Emergi-Center, you step into an ER built to have your back — the right people, the freedom to practice your way, and the tools to move fast when it counts.

  • Supportive Team. You're backed by 3-4 trained veterinary technicians and assistants, plus an experienced management team who've worked the floor. 
  • Clinical Autonomy. We operate with a hands-off philosophy. Doctors keep the final say in how they practice medicine, with no standardized script to follow.
  • Connected Care. AAEC is the emergency hospital in a family of 12 locations. Shared medical records across all 11 general practice clinics and our emergency hospital provides seamless, high-quality, consistent care for clients wherever they visit and whenever it’s needed.
  • Purpose-Built for Emergency Care. Our hospital is set up for the pace of ER medicine, with an in-house lab and the tools to move quickly from triage to treatment.
