Summer Locum Urgent Care Veterinarian Chicagoland

About Scout Veterinary Urgent Care: We offer same-day and next-day urgent care appointments to truly fill the gap between routine primary care and the ER. We see a wide variety of urgent appointments while being extremely clear about what we don’t do. This supports our teams to help more sick and injured pets every day while allowing our doctors to have clear boundaries. About the role This veterinarian will primarily support our Wheaton clinic (1962 S Naperville Rd, Wheaton, IL 60189). At Scout, it is important that each clinic provides excellent care, sustains a healthy culture, and is supported to deliver the Scout experience. As an urgent care doctor at Scout, you will be a key part of our team. Case load: Scout doctors manage approximately 10-18 patients daily . Cases span from routine last-minute care to more intricate cases that require in-house diagnostics, treatments, and nursing care. The heartbeat of our caseload lies in true urgent care cases and stable emergencies. Facilities and Tools: Each clinic is set up with intention and built for the modern client. We have a full in-house diagnostic lab, digital radiology, ultrasound, and more. We provide AI-enabled scribe access for all team members and robust inter and intra-clinic communication channels. Partnerships: Recognizing that urgent care is often just the initial chapter in a pet's medical narrative, Scout takes pride in empowering our doctors to explore the comprehensive answers our patients and clients both need and deserve. We actively foster robust relationships with referral partners to ensure our doctors have a wealth of resources at their fingertips when pets and clients require assistance beyond the bounds of Scout's doors.
