Faith Integration: I am a sole practitioner with no employees as of yet, so I am able to discuss my faith with clients whenever and however God leads me to do so.

Job Details: Unpaid. Housing available. The practice consists of an ambulatory large animal base that mostly sees equine and small ruminant cases. It is a mixed practice, with 75% Ambulatory Large Animal and 25% in-clinic small animal primary care. Spring of 2013 saw the addition of a 400 sq. ft. small animal primary care facility. This practice is basic, yet modern, striving to meet the needs of a very rural area in Western New York. We have portable digital radiology, in-clinic blood chemistry analyzer, and digital medical records.
