Animal Care & VeterinaryAVMA Career Center
The American Veterinary Medical Association’s career center, with veterinary practice, specialist, academic, and practice-management vacancies.
About AVMA Career Center
The AVMA Career Center is the employment service promoted by the American Veterinary Medical Association. It concentrates on veterinary careers, with a primarily US market and some opportunities in Canada and elsewhere.
More specific than a general healthcare board
The job search separates roles by position, employment sector, species, and experience. That matters when a small-animal practice, an equine employer, and a veterinary college are looking for very different candidates. Reviewed listings included independent practices, animal hospitals, and the Ontario SPCA.
The service’s history is documented in a 2015 University of Illinois SAVMA publication. That confirms an established career service; it is not presented as the job board’s founding date.
Buying a posting
Check member and non-member eligibility, posting duration, and whether distribution extends to partner career centers. The employer pricing page was inaccessible during the review, so no amount is shown as verified. Ask separately about upgrades and résumé access rather than assuming they are part of a basic advertisement.
Our take
AVMA’s career center offers a precise setting for veterinary hiring because candidates can distinguish the species, practice type, and professional role. It is particularly relevant for US veterinary employers. Describe the clinical workload, mentorship, emergency duties, and compensation structure rather than relying on a generic veterinarian title. For a support role, check that the board’s candidate mix fits the position before paying for wider distribution.
