Copper Country Veterinary Clinic is Hiring!

Located in the beautiful Keweenaw peninsula of Michigan, we are a growing mixed animal practice (primarily small animal) looking for another associate veterinarian. We have opportunities for externships for students to get to know our practice!! We know many places are looking for vets right now and you have endless choices before you, but please consider our practice. We prioritize work life balance for our veterinarians, rotate weekends on calls with two other practices, and currently enjoy moving into a brand new spacious facility. 

Our new location is stocked with 6 examination rooms, a large surgical suite where we perform routine, emergency, and orthopedic procedures. We have a large dental suite with digital dental radiography. Our in house laboratory is equipped with Abaxis machines, Bionote, and microscope for numerous in house testing capabilities. Our Imaging room is equipped with DR imaging and a Universal Imaging Ultrasound with both curvilinear and linear probes. Our staff is top notch with a group of enthusiastic nurses and client service receptionists to focus on client satisfaction, patient care, and making sure we have a fun and collaborative culture. We do have a garage for any associate looking to help with the equine part of the practice with two stalls and a truck with a vet box for ambulatory work. 

Beyond the practice, the upper peninsula of Michigan is the best place to live and raise a family. Our practice is three miles away from the main town of Houghton, MI that hosts Michigan Technological University. This brings a vibrant young adult life to our town, but we also have a large population of “Yoopers” that enjoy the quiet life of small towns. Our area is safe. Kids walk to school, violent crime is a rarity, and our police are part of our community and you know everyone by name. We have top notch school systems highly rated by the state of Michigan. If you are an outdoor recreation person - this is the place for you. Our 4 day work week and rotating weekend ER allows us to have time to really thrive in activities this area offers. From summer time boating, fishing, hiking to winter time snowmobiling, skiing, and snowshoeing - we have everything you are looking for. We have award winning fall colors every year that people travel from all over to see. Copper Harbor is a short drive away for intense mountain biking and skiing for those who love challenges. You are always near a body of water here. We have our canal you see on a nearly daily basis driving through town, and the “Big Lake” (Lake Superior) is never a long drive. This is a wonderful place to live, work, and grow a family. There may be a lot of snow in this place, but trust me our road commissions are top notch for moving that snow efficiently for safe travelling. 

We hope you consider our practice for you and welcome externships for current veterinary students. We have housing available at the practice for vet students visiting! We offer a competitive salary based on experience with an incentive plan, simple IRA retirement, health insurance, CE allowance, paid time off, and relocation stipends.
