Description

Practice at your best, with excellent colleagues and a practice that appreciates and enhances what you bring.

Cornell University Veterinary Specialists (CUVS) is a unique hospital – a private practice and an independent subsidiary of Cornell University. We are specialist-run. Our specialists are a cohesive team of clinicians who strongly believe in collaboration, communication, respect, and lifelong learning, and are actively involved in strategic medical and organizational decisions. We pride ourselves on our incredibly positive culture.

CUVS has specialists in emergency-critical care (6), internal medicine (3), surgery (2), oncology (2), radiology (2), dentistry-oral surgery (2), ophthalmology and part-time anesthesiology. We have advanced Interventional Radiology & Interventional Endoscopy.

We fully understand and appreciate the unique needs of each specialty, and work with the specialist to create the optimal service. We have all the tools and technology, including a sophisticated interventional suite. We have a large and diverse caseload, and a clientele that are willing and able to pursue the best medical options for their pets. Our specialists are further supported by strong interdepartmental collaboration, including a 365-day/year criticalist-staffed ECC department and a robust and experienced nursing staff with many VTSs.

While our hospital operates as a private practice, our specialists have many opportunities for collaboration, teaching and clinical trials with Cornell.

Our compensation package is excellent, and includes high % ProSal pay, signing and relocation bonus, 4 weeks’ vacation plus CE time, 401k with match, excellent medical and dental insurance for individual and family, disability and life insurance, pet healthcare insurance and discounts, allowance for CE, paid licensure and dues, and access to Cornell’s electronic library and subscriptions.

Located in Harbor Point, Stamford, on Connecticut’s “Gold Coast”, the area offers beauty, a rich cultural experience, and myriad water and other outdoor activities. We are 45 minutes from Manhattan and minutes from commuter trains and the Interstate, offering easy access to other parts of New England and the Northeast.
