Four Established Hospitals | Variety & Autonomy | Predictable Scheduling | No Negative Accrual
Looking for something different from the traditional associate veterinarian role?
We’re looking for a veterinarian to support four established small animal hospitals throughout the Wichita area, giving you the opportunity to work with different teams, see a wide variety of cases, and bring your experience and perspective to multiple practices - all while maintaining a predictable schedule and the support of a larger veterinary organization.
You’ll work approximately four days per week, with your schedule planned in advance so you know where you'll be working rather than having to guess where you'll be needed from week to week.
Hospitals You'll Support
- Prairie Ridge Animal Hospital
- Pet Haven Veterinary Clinic
- Heartland Animal Hospital
- Countryside Pet Clinic and Resort
Why a Multi-Site Role?
This position offers the variety of working with multiple teams while maintaining the stability of an established schedule.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- See a broad range of general practice cases across multiple hospitals
- Work alongside different doctors, technicians, and support teams
- Share knowledge and bring your own clinical strengths to each hospital
- Practice with autonomy while having additional resources and colleagues nearby
- Develop relationships with multiple established client bases
- Help support hospitals when additional veterinary coverage is needed
- Work approximately four days per week with schedules determined in advance
- Maintain a healthy work-life balance without last-minute schedule changes
Your caseload will vary by hospital, but may include:
- Preventive and wellness medicine
- Sick visits and urgent care
- Dentistry and dental radiography
- Soft-tissue surgery
- Diagnostics and imaging
- In-house laboratory work
- Long-term case management and client education
You'll have the resources of NVA behind you while working with locally based hospital teams.
- Competitive base salary plus production with no negative accrual
- Sign-on bonus that can be used toward a home down payment, student loans, or settling into your new role
- No non-compete agreement, providing flexibility throughout your career
- Professional liability insurance fully covered
- 100% company-paid Short-Term Disability insurance, providing income protection for qualifying short-term illnesses, injuries, pregnancy, maternity, and parental leave
- Access to NVA's PetOne Veterinary Training Center for hands-on surgical and clinical training
- Industry-leading Mentorship Program with dedicated one-on-one support
- Support and resources to pursue ABVP certification while practicing
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- CE allowance
- Paid licensing and professional dues
- Generous PTO
- Relocation support, including moving expenses and travel
- Professional development and leadership opportunities
- Future partnership and ownership opportunities for doctors interested in practice leadership
One of the advantages of working across a local network is that you're never far from another veterinarian or another set of resources when you need them. You can practice independently and make your own medical decisions while still having colleagues and hospital teams available to collaborate with when needed.
Why Wichita?
Wichita offers a strong veterinary community, affordable living compared with many major metro areas, and short commutes that give you more time back in your day. With a lower cost of living, a growing food and arts scene, outdoor recreation, and plenty of space to put down roots, Wichita offers a great balance between career and life outside the hospital.
If you enjoy variety, value autonomy, and like working with different teams while still having the stability of an established schedule, we'd love to talk with you about this opportunity.

Veterinarian Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a veterinarian in Kansas?
To practice as a veterinarian in Kansas you must hold an active license from the Kansas Board of Veterinary Examiners. This requires earning a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from an AVMA-accredited program and passing the NAVLE. Kansas State University's College of Veterinary Medicine is the primary in-state pathway. After passing the exam, you apply directly to the Board for licensure before practicing in any clinical or government setting.
How much do veterinarians make in Kansas?
Veterinarians in Kansas earn a median of about $107,080 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $71,200 for the lowest 10% to over $177,110 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire veterinarians in Kansas?
Employers hiring veterinarians in Kansas right now include Vetco, DESORT STAFFING, and Petco, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Kansas's strong agricultural economy means government agencies like the USDA and large animal clinics affiliated with Kansas State University are among the state's most consistent long-term hirers.
Which Kansas cities have the most veterinarian jobs?
Overland Park, Wichita, and Lawrence account for the most veterinarian openings in Kansas. Wichita and Kansas City draw companion animal and specialty practice demand from large metro populations, while the Manhattan area reflects the concentration of academic, research, and teaching roles tied to Kansas State University's veterinary programs and surrounding agricultural communities.
Are there remote veterinarian jobs in Kansas?
Yes, but they're rare. Clinical veterinary work is inherently hands-on, making fully remote positions uncommon. About 0% of veterinarian openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to be in veterinary consulting, telehealth triage, regulatory review, or food safety compliance rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a veterinarian in Kansas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a small animal associate role at a corporate or independently owned practice in Wichita or Kansas City, where new graduates are regularly considered. Kansas State University Veterinary Health Center offers rotating internship and residency programs that give new DVMs hands-on experience before moving to independent practice. Demonstrating large animal or food animal case exposure during school significantly strengthens applications for the rural and agricultural positions that make up a large share of Kansas openings.
Where can I find and apply to veterinarian jobs in Kansas?
