Emergency Animal Hospital of Ellicott City (ECEAH) is seeking a full time or part time emergency veterinarian to join our team. ECEAH is one of the oldest emergency animal hospitals in the community. What really sets ECEAH apart is our people and our culture. The ideal candidate will possess excellent medical and surgical skills, be a team player and excellent communicator. S/he will want to be an integral part of our practice as we continue growing and evolving as a practice and a veterinarian team. Come join us! 

Why ECEAH?

At Emergency Animal Hospital of Ellicott City, one of the region's most established emergency practices, the thing our team talks about most isn't the equipment or the caseload - it's the people. With 7 full-time veterinarians, ~30 support staff, and one of the lowest turnover rates you'll find in emergency medicine, we've built something genuinely rare: a team that likes coming to work.

Our doctors and technicians collaborate closely (4:1 tech-to-doctor ratio), support each other through complex cases, and share a commitment to doing right by every patient. New graduates receive real mentorship. Experienced clinicians find intellectual challenge and professional respect.

The Medicine

We handle a diverse caseload of small animals and exotics with a comprehensive in-house setup: digital radiology, in-house lab, ICU, Snyder ICU, isolation ward, diagnostic ultrasound,  and a full surgery suite, complete with a Force Triad vessel sealer and electrocautery unit. You'll have the tools to practice the medicine you were trained for.

Ellicott City sits 30 minutes from Baltimore and an hour from D.C., with top-rated public schools, great dining, and easy access to state parks, mountains (3 hrs), and the beach (3 hrs). It's a great place to build a life outside of work too.

Veterinary medicine is not always the prettiest, easiest, happiest, or most satisfying line of work as we all know, but I can't imagine doing it for any other group. VetEvolve has been able to retain a small feel over time, as it grows, which is huge for me.” - VetEvolve network DVM.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
