For more than 30 years, Bay Animal Hospital has been a trusted part of the Panama City community, building lasting relationships with generations of clients while providing high-quality, compassionate veterinary care.
We're looking for an Associate Veterinarian who values collaboration, enjoys practicing great medicine, and wants the autonomy to make clinical decisions with the support of an experienced team.
You'll step into an established practice with a loyal client base, experienced support staff, modern equipment, and fellow doctors who believe in sharing ideas and supporting one another. Whether you enjoy surgery, challenging medical cases, preventive care, or building long-term client relationships, you'll have the opportunity to practice your strengths while continuing to grow professionally.
Just as important, we believe your career should leave room for life outside the hospital. When the workday ends, Panama City's white-sand beaches, boating, fishing, waterfront restaurants, and Gulf Coast sunsets are just minutes away.
If you're looking for an established, award-winning practice where you can do great medicine, be part of a team that values collaboration, and enjoy everything Gulf Coast living has to offer, we'd love to meet you.
USD $125,000.00 - USD $150,000.00 /Yr.

Heartland Veterinary Partners is a support organization that is committed to improving the lives of veterinarians. We purchase veterinary practices and provide operational support to relieve administrative burdens such as payroll, recruiting, HR, marketing and accounts payables. If needed, we invest to support growth. The practices maintain their unique branding, culture and clinical autonomy.
At Heartland, we believe that selling a veterinary practice shouldn’t mean losing what makes it remarkable. When we acquire a practice, the doctor comes first. We listen closely to their needs in order to create a one-of-a-kind solution to ease their administrative burdens—all without disrupting their day-to-day operations, the culture they’ve fostered, and the relationships they’ve built. In other words, the name over the door doesn’t go away. The headaches of running a business do.
Partnering veterinarians appreciate an improved work-life balance, less financial worry, and the confidence that their teams will be in good hands. Best of all, they get to focus on why they entered the business in the first place: to care for animals and to be present when their clients need them most. Practice team members enjoy the warm culture of their individual community practices combined with the support and resources that Heartland brings to the table.
Improving the lives of veterinarians means supporting them at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a veterinary student or a new graduate looking for hands-on learning to begin your career or an experienced veterinarian looking to tackle management and leadership opportunities, we keep your goals at the heart of everything we do.
The Heartland Support Center team is hardwired to serve. We follow the philosophy of servant leadership and put the needs of others first with a genuine desire to help. As a result, Heartland’s practices count on team members to be there for them with heart and solution, not a corporate agenda.
