SINGAPORE - SMALL ANIMALS

Singapore - Small Animal Practice

The practice is seeking the services of a doctor with practical knowledge and skills. What’s needed is someone able to look after the Patients well, and provide a good service to the Clients. The medical standard offered to Clients is high, and less expensive alternatives are provided as options.

Support includes an experienced Team (so flexibility is important), and modern facilities and a high level of equipment.

From the doctors’ viewpoint, if you are able to operate with at least a little independence, the practice provides a fantastic opportunity to develop skills, being equipped well for imaging in radiology, ultrasound, and endoscopy; surgery in soft tissue and orthopaedics; dermatology; ophthalmology; and TCVM; and supports and encourages high level internal medicine. Additionally, it supports continuing education in whatever relevant field you choose, with flexible leave and financial support packages and equipment purchasing. You can potentially grow faster here than at a large referral practice. You do not need to be an expert to begin.

Remuneration is better than competitive, and Singapore is similar in many ways to London or Sydney – a big, fast, air-conditioned, well fed, english-speaking city.

If you believe you may be a candidate and are interested in our position, please contact us (foreenlowcy@yahoo.com.sg / +65 9146 5265) and we’ll help you decide.

HONG KONG, SHA TIN - SMALL ANIMAL/EXOTICS - VET DIRECTOR New Position

Veterinary Clinical Director in Hong Kong
Tai Wai Small Animal and Exotic Hospital & Island Exotics

A kaleidoscope of life, a sophisticated fusion of East and West!

This is how the Hong Kong Tourist Board describes our wonderful city; ‘A city of diversity where new and old meet at every turn. With a large English speaking population and a convenient transport infrastructure, it’s the perfect city to gradually expand your comfort zones.

Often ranked as having the best city skyline in the world, Hong Kong is colorful and superbly chaotic – a dazzling city of futuristic skyscrapers that also offers serene mountains and stunning vistas of open sea and islands’. The weather is sub-tropical which means hot humid summers and cooler dry winters - with no icy days. There is ample opportunity for outdoor recreation both on land and sea. Only 25% of Hong Kong is designated ‘built-up’ and 40% is classified as country park.

Due to retirement of one of our partners we have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Director to join our busy small animal and exotic hospital in Hong Kong.

Our twenty-four hour hospital was established over 20 years ago in a traditional area of Hong Kong close to the mountains and country parks but also only 30 minutes’ drive to the Central Hong Kong business district. We also opened a purely exotic branch clinic 3 years ago on Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong is one of the safest cities in the world to live, even with the recent government protests most days there has been very little disruption to normal life, and no increased personal risk. The streets of Hong Kong are safer than inner city UK!

Our hospital is a small animal and exotic pet hospital with a 50% exotic case load. We currently have 10 full time employed veterinarians 4 of which deal purely with the exotic pets. It is our commitment to provide the best health care to all species in our hospital with a focus on educating our clients as well as providing a rewarding working environment for all our staff.

We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories both in Hong Kong and overseas. Our hospital includes a well-stocked pharmacy, surgery suite, endoscopy (we have 8 different endoscopes !), laparoscopy, radiography, ultrasonography and in house CT. We have separate hospitalization, isolation and ICU wards for all the diverse species we treat.

KOH MAK, THAILAND - SMALL ANIMAL VOLUNTEER VETS

About Us:

We are a small volunteer vet clinic caring for Koh Mak's stray, temple & owned animals and dedicated to improving their lives since 2016.
We are a Non-Profit organization and rely entirely on donations, volunteers and sponsorship to carry out our work. We receive no government funding, and rely heavily on the good-will of the local community, tourists and friends.
We would like to provide medical care and also to have a dedicated neutering and vaccination program carried out with the help of volunteer vets when they visit.
We are seeking volunteers with veterinary experience. Ideal would be plenty of spay/neuter experience, preferably in a rural basic setting. But depending on the mix of experience, new Vets, or student Vets bringing their externship professors would be great.
We are looking for both vets and vet nurses.

Long term Vets wanted.

We have realized that we really need to have long term Vet volunteers.

We are looking for a vet (and spouse if you have) who would appreciate the opportunity to take a sabbatical period, 6, 9 even 12 months off.

Someone who is looking to sink deep into Thai culture, food, language, and island life. And who is give back to a population that up until recently had no choice for the care of their animals.

Koh Mak is an incredible place to live that has so much to offer on many different levels.

So to that end we are building a small studio bungalow just across the yard from the clinic.

This self contained "doctor's studio" will have a private bath, small kitchenette, closet, work area, dinette table and front terrace, and designed to give privacy and space for the occupants.

Here is a short movie that shows what we do and who we are looking for.

And here is the full 11 minute film:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63nkBED8LQE&feature=youtu.be

The Clinic:

Initially we will be looking at setting up and stocking the clinic, and creating best practices for a clinic that will have revolving doctors.
We can control the dog and cat population through neutering of stray and temple animals and through promotion of the sterilizing of owned animals. We want to be able to provide nursing care to animals in crisis and work to educate the public in responsible animal care.
Create an culturally appropriate ongoing sterilization project for owned pets as well as strays. (There is a once a year sterilization program, but it dosen't get the litters born between. And also some dogs cannot be caught on the one day, and so we need more time)
We are in the process of creating and implementing a campaign to vaccinate all animals on the island (hopefully with tags and collars). No rabies on island currently, but we do have Distemper and Parvo. And a lot of mange and heart worm. Our goal is to keep Koh Mak rabies free, through vaccination and education.
And then there is always accident/crisis care as it comes up.
This will be a great place to hone your skills as you will be in effect the manager of the clinic when you are here. Please understand this aspect.
Koh Mak is not a huge island, and so total management is possible with ongoing work.
In addition we would like to setup a training program for folks on island be able to assist visiting vets. Maybe 1-2 people at a time. Learning prep, instrument ID, anesthesia, etc.
We won't always get a vet and an assistant together (although this is the ideal pairing), so we hope to train a bunch here on island so when we have a doctor visiting we can have additional staff.

Accommodation:

The clinic has 3 bedrooms a kitchen, and a dining area as part of the structure. We are in the process of constructing a stand alone bungalow for the long term Vets position.
The cozy bedroom has a king bed, armoire and fan.
There is a covered terrace with a table and chairs, and a Thai style bathroom with shower. A covered outdoor kitchen completes the apartment.
There is also a 2 scooters and bicycles available for clinic use.

Koh Mak:

The island is just off the coast of Cambodia, so the folks who live here come from both Thailand and Cambodia. Nearly all the labor on the island is from Cambodia.
People working with the clinic will get a chance to interact with both of these similar but different cultures.
In addition they will get to experience first hand how Buddhism is the cornerstone of both cultures.
We work closely with the islands residents, so you will get a chance to how they live and experience island life.
Koh Mak is located in an archipelago of 50+ islands on the far eastern seaboard of Thailand.
There is plenty of opportunity for swimming, snorkeling, diving and Kayaking. On land, there are bicycling trails, muai Thai, tennis, and plenty of restaurants and bars.
Koh Mak is a small island, and the "coconut wireless" speed is very fast. It's like a small village, with everyone knowing the goings on.
Transport from Bangkok can be via small plane, taxi, bus, or minibus. The trip by land takes about 5 hours. There is then a 45 minute boat ride to the island.
