Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist

About the Role

This is your chance to practice specialty Internal Medicine at a well-established referral centre in Toronto, with the freedom to shape a schedule that works for you. As the third specialist joining the Internal Medicine service at Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic, you'll step into a role that balances clinical depth with genuine work-life balance — something many specialists dream of but rarely find.

You'll manage a diverse and rewarding caseload of referred cases, developing comprehensive diagnostic and treatment plans for complex patients. The hospital has invested heavily in advanced diagnostic capabilities, including a 32-slice CT scanner, video fluoroscopy, flexible and rigid HD video endoscopy, minimally invasive urology equipment, advanced ultrasound, Ho-Yag and diode lasers, and comprehensive laboratory services. If ultrasound is an area you enjoy, you'll have plenty of opportunity to apply and develop those skills.

The culture here is intentionally collaborative and positive. You'll work alongside experienced specialists in Oncology, Surgery, Anesthesiology, Ophthalmology, and Cardiology — professionals who genuinely support one another and are committed to both exceptional patient care and each other's wellbeing. Located in a convenient Toronto neighbourhood just 15 minutes from downtown with easy access to major highways, the practice sits within a vibrant city offering world-class restaurants, arts and entertainment, professional sports, and plenty of outdoor activities.
