Licensed Veterinary Technician - (LVT) Internal Medicine

We are a 24-hour Emergency, Specialty and Critical Care center located in Syracuse, New York. We currently have a large team of full- and part-time emergency clinicians, as well as board-certified specialists in surgery, internal medicine, radiology, critical care, and oncology. We also have a physical rehabilitation suite including an underwater treadmill, hydrotherapy pool, and exercise room. Attached to the VMC is an IDEXX reference laboratory, enabling accurate test results with a fast turnaround time for hospitalized patients. Learn more about the practice at our website.

Our Internal Medicine technicians work closely with our internists in the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of patients with complex and often chronic medical conditions. This is an opportunity for an LVT who enjoys challenging cases, advanced diagnostics, anesthesia and procedural nursing, and developing a deeper understanding of internal medicine.

Anesthesia and procedural support are important components of this position. Our Internal Medicine technicians assist with procedures requiring sedation and general anesthesia, including endoscopy and other advanced diagnostics. Responsibilities may also include patient assessment and monitoring, sample collection and processing, treatment administration, hospitalized patient care, coordination of diagnostic testing, and collaboration with other specialty and emergency services throughout the hospital.

Strong client communication skills are equally important. Internal Medicine clients are often navigating complicated diagnoses, chronic or serious illnesses, significant treatment decisions, and ongoing care. Our technicians play an important role in helping clients understand diagnostic and treatment plans, providing updates and education, answering questions, and helping families navigate the next steps in their pet's care. We are looking for an LVT who can combine strong technical skills with patience, empathy, professionalism, and clear communication.

Prior Internal Medicine or specialty experience is welcome but not required . We offer a formal training and mentorship program for incoming technicians and are interested in experienced specialty technicians as well as LVTs with a strong technical foundation who are ready to develop more advanced skills. Candidates with an interest in anesthesia, complex medical cases, and client education are especially encouraged to apply.

We provide a supportive, collaborative workplace that prioritizes work/life harmony and both professional and personal development. We're proud of the excellent patient care we provide and of the role our licensed technicians play in delivering that care.

The VMC is deeply invested in our licensed technical staff, and one of our long-term goals is to advance the role of the LVT within the veterinary profession. We offer a generous compensation package, including a yearly continuing education stipend, as well as additional compensation differentials for qualifying evening, overnight, weekend, and holiday shifts. We offer a professional, team-oriented atmosphere with an emphasis on lifelong learning and opportunities to continue developing advanced technical skills.
