Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG)·Woodbury, Minnesota
Provide critical support in a fast-paced emergency veterinary environment by triaging patients and assisting with medical treatments and diagnostics. Collaborate with veterinarians and technicians to monitor anesthesia, manage IV fluids, and ensure continuity of care during patient rounds.
In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!
At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer-focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve.
This also means saying yes to creating the best experience possible for our VEGgies. Yes to working in an environment where you can find your place and feel valued for the amazing work you do. Yes to having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship so you can grow where you want to go in your career. And yes to making an impact here in ways you never thought possible.

Market context
Physician roles in Minnesota are typically driven by steady demand in primary care and community health settings, especially where access and continuity of care matter. These positions are competitive because employers often look for an accredited MD or DO, relevant experience, active Minnesota or North Dakota licensure, DEA registration, and BLS certification.
