Emergency and Critical Care are some of the fastest-growing services at PASE, and we're looking for a criticalist to join our team. You'll work alongside experienced criticalist colleagues in an ICU built on teamwork, with the diagnostics, specialists, and technician support to practice high-level critical care every shift.

Philadelphia Animal Specialty & Emergency (PASE) is a veterinarian owned, 24/7 emergency and specialty hospital in the heart of Philadelphia. Our Critical Care service manages the hospital's sickest patients alongside a 24-hour emergency department and a full roster of specialty services.

Why criticalists choose PASE

Colleagues, not a solo service. Share difficult cases and coverage with experienced criticalist colleagues, so the schedule is sustainable and days off are truly off.
A service on the rise. As our Critical Care department grows, you'll have a real voice in protocols, ICU workflows, and how the service develops.
Everything your patients need, in-house. CT, 1.5T MRI, ultrasound (Aplio i700), digital radiology, emergency ultrasound, in-house lab, and multi-parameter monitoring.
Specialists to lean on. Internal Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, Oncology, Anesthesia, Ophthalmology, and a radiologist performing ultrasound 5 days a week. Complex ICU patients get a true team approach.
A skilled ICU technician team. Our technicians grow through a structured career leveling program and in-house training, and work with you as true partners in patient care.
A culture built on communication. PASE is implementing TeamSTEPPS, a structured teamwork and patient safety program, across the hospital.
Production upside with a safety net. Base salary plus production, with a production bonus paid every 4 weeks when you exceed target and no penalty when you don't.

Finishing residency? We built this for you, too.

We welcome residency-trained criticalists who are board eligible. New graduates join a team that makes the first year easier:

Two experienced criticalist colleagues for case discussion and second opinions
Support as you prepare for board certification, including CE allowance and PTO for CE
Teaching opportunities with our ER doctors, support staff, and referral community, if you want them

What you'll do

Manage critically ill and post-operative patients in our ICU, including those transferred from our ER, specialty services, and referring hospitals
Partner with our ER doctors, specialists, and referring veterinarians to coordinate comprehensive care
Lead and teach your ICU technician team, and communicate clearly and compassionately with pet owners during difficult decisions
Contribute to protocols, education, and the continued growth of the Critical Care service
