Build a Specialty Service That Reflects the Way You Practice Medicine

Violet Crown Veterinary Specialists (VCVS) is seeking board-certified or residency-trained ACVIM specialists in Internal Medicine and Cardiology to join our growing specialty and emergency hospital in Austin, Texas.

Whether you’re an internist looking to build a comprehensive Internal Medicine service or a cardiologist interested in expanding advanced cardiac care, you’ll find the autonomy, collaboration, and support needed to build a thriving specialty practice.

As Austin’s only privately owned specialty and emergency hospital, we offer specialists something increasingly rare—the opportunity to shape how a service grows while practicing alongside a collaborative team that values exceptional medicine, innovation, and work-life balance.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love the opportunity to build a specialty service my way,” we’d love to connect.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most specialty opportunities fall into one of two categories:

      Walking into an established service with limited flexibility or influence.

      Joining a large corporate system where major decisions are made far from the exam room.

VCVS offers something different.

As a privately owned specialty hospital, our specialists have direct access to leadership and meaningful influence over how services are developed, supported, and expanded.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

      Build and grow a specialty service with long-term vision.

      Influence workflow, scheduling, and clinical protocols.

      Develop referral relationships throughout Central Texas.

      Collaborate daily with Emergency, Surgery, Oncology, and future specialty services.

      Help guide future equipment purchases and specialty expansion.

      Practice in one of the fastest-growing veterinary referral markets in Texas.

Your expertise won’t simply be appreciated—it will help shape the future of our hospital.
