VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center, one of the largest private specialty referral practices in Northern California, is seeking a board-certified or residency-trained Neurologist to join our team. 

VCA SVRC opened in 2007 in a newly built, custom-designed 23,000-square-foot building.  In 2012 the hospital grew by 4,000 square feet with the addition of a linear accelerator vault.  The facility includes 15 exam rooms, 6 surgical suites with an additional ER surgical room, a 64-slice Toshiba CT with automatic injector, and a 1.5 Tesla MRI.  The hospital is equipped with complete endoscopic, laparoscopic, and thoracoscopic instrumentation, multiple ultrasounds including a color flow Doppler, O2 cages, two digital radiology suites, and a C-arm.  In addition to the complete in-house lab which includes Abaxis CBC, PT/PTT and chemistry machines, Heska EPOC, I-stat, and a colloid osmometer.  An Antech lab is within a 10-minute driving distance.

VCA SVRC has a full complement of experienced, well-trained, and compassionate staff of full-time RVTs and Assistants.  The new Neurologist will have access to an existing referral base committed to these services. The successful candidate will participate in community outreach in a supportive structure but this is not a situation where the service needs to be built from scratch. With over 450 hospitals that actively refer cases and continuously come through the door, building a loyal following will not pose a problem for the right candidate.  

The hospital has boarded specialists in the following disciplines: Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Radiology, Surgery, Neurology, Medical & Radiation Oncology, and Emergency/Critical Care. The relationship between the individual doctors and the various services is collegial. Rounds are conducted every morning with all the doctors to discuss hospitalized cases with our intern class as a learning opportunity. This type of collaborative medicine is somewhat rare outside of a university setting and makes for a rich and rewarding environment. It optimizes patient care while ensuring continuous learning. Since opening in 2007, VCA SVRC has had a strong internship program with many advancing to residencies. Teaching, mentoring, and participating in the interns’ professional development would be expected from any candidate. 

Sacramento is a wonderful city with lots of options based on lifestyle. It has an ideal year-round climate with incredible outdoor opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, water sports, skiing, wine tasting, and camping. It is only an hour and a half drive from San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, or Napa Valley with all their accompanying activities. It is also a large metropolitan city with a smalltown feel.  There are many world-class restaurants, fun outdoor cafes, and art theaters to visit in Sacramento.  How many places in the world can you have access to both the beach and mountains in less than a 2-hour drive?
