Description

If you’re a top-tier Surgical Veterinary Technician who is already operating at—or pushing toward—VTS-level proficiency, this is the environment you’ve been looking for.

Dogwood Veterinary Specialty & Emergency is building a surgery-focused technician team capable of supporting complex, referral-level procedures with precision, confidence, and clinical autonomy.

This is not a generalist role.

This is for technicians who want to master anesthesia, own their cases, and operate alongside advanced surgical teams.

You are a technician who:

Is already functioning at a high level in anesthesia and surgical nursing
Has experience with ventilators, advanced monitoring, and high-risk cases
Wants to move beyond routine procedures into complex, referral-level surgery
Is actively pursuing—or seriously considering—a VTS in Surgery or Anesthesia
Takes pride in technical precision, clinical decision-making, and patient advocacy

If you’re looking for a role where you’re simply “helping”—this isn’t it.

If you’re looking for a role where you’re trusted, challenged, and continuously improving—keep reading.
