  Summary:

  Who we are:

  Have you ever wondered what happens to cats and dogs whose owners are unable to afford veterinary care? We did. The ASPCA's Community Medicine (CM) team provides expert veterinary care to support the welfare of animals and their people through our stationary and mobile veterinary clinics, serving the most underserved communities in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. We help pet owners overcome barriers to care, bringing quality services directly to the communities that need us most and partially or fully subsidizing the cost of basic and preventive care. CM treats people and pets with dignity and respect, assisting pet owners in making informed decisions about their pets' health and wellbeing regardless of their financial circumstances. When you come to work at the ASPCA, you join a team of over 1,000 dedicated colleagues with deep knowledge, skills, and passion for the animals we serve.

  What you'll do:

  Help animals in need! Our highly skilled technicians play a crucial role in our program, working as a team with CM veterinarians and assistants to provide essential services to the pets and rescue animals that need us most. The ASPCA's Community Medicine (CM) program offers high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN), preventive care and treatment for minor illnesses and injuries, which we call Primary Pet Care (PPC). CM technicians build a wide range of skills and you'll use your education and license to its full extent exclusively concentrating on medical duties, working some days in spay/neuter surgery and others seeing appointments or assisting with out-patient procedures. All of our services are provided at one of our stationary clinics (Bronx, Brooklyn, or Queens) or on one of our state-of-the-art, custom-built mobile veterinary clinics.
