Relief Veterinarian List

Available for relief work? Help New Mexico practices find you.

A colleague needs time away. A practice has a temporary gap. A veterinarian wants to attend continuing education without leaving the team short-handed. Finding the right relief coverage can make those situations more manageable.

NMVMA is refreshing and expanding its Relief Veterinarian List, and we invite members who provide relief services to add or update their information. Whether you take assignments regularly or are open to occasional coverage, help practices understand where you work and what you offer.

Support colleagues. Help maintain care.

Supporting the people who deliver veterinary care is part of supporting animal care itself. A useful relief list can help colleagues plan time away, maintain services during staffing gaps, and identify professionals to contact.

It is a practical way for NMVMA to strengthen professional connections, support member well-being, and help practices navigate workforce needs.

How the directory works

Joining the list is voluntary; it is not a request to donate veterinary services. Veterinarians and practices arrange rates, schedules, services, and other terms directly. A listing does not commit you to an assignment or indicate that you are immediately available.

NMVMA provides the directory, not shift matching, scheduling, or placement. Information is self-reported; practices and veterinarians are responsible for confirming qualifications, availability, and the terms of their work together.
