Job Description

A Fresh Start. A Growing Team. A Chance to Shape What's Next.

Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital in Lawrence, KS, is in an exciting period of growth and revitalization, and we're looking for a passionate veterinarian to be part of it. For over 50 years, our hospital has been a trusted name in the community, and today, we're revitalizing our clinic with a renewed focus on collaboration, innovation, and exceptional care for pets.

Dr. Karoline Tripp is leading a positive transformation at the clinic, creating a supportive, forward-thinking environment and helping shape the future of the hospital. With a second veterinarian joining later this year, and a third next summer, the team is growing, giving new associates the chance to thrive in a collaborative, dynamic practice. You'll also step into a built-in, loyal client base, providing steady patients from day one and the opportunity to focus on what you do best: excellent medicine.
