Morette Equine Hospital is a busy referral hospital located near Brussels in Belgium.
We are part of the Equine Care Group, a fast-expanding international group of veterinary clinics. Our team consists of several board-certified specialists working together with junior vets, residents, and interns. We have a close collaboration amongst each other as well as with our referring veterinarians.
As a second line clinic we have a strong focus on internal medicine and surgery.
Because of the expanding internal medicine caseload (actually about 1000/year), and the increasing intensity of the care, we are searching for a (young) versatile veterinarian with preference for internal medicine, to join our team.
The position:
- Follow up on hospitalised and ICU patients from the Internal medicine department, including performing necessary diagnostics and installing treatment protocols, in close cooperation with our team of interns
- Taking care of associated client communication and administration, such as billing, discharge letters and phone calls.

- Work-up and instal treatment in horses with colic.
- Work-up and instal treatment in horses with other medical emergencies.
- Examine horses with acute lameness and wounds.
- Take part in the on-call schedule.
- Take part in the extra- veterinarian tasks of the team e.g.
- Contribute to writing newsletters, publications, and content to our webpage.
- Training and supervision of interns, visiting students and veterinarians.

- Working in specialized referral hospital with a pleasant, international atmosphere despite a continuous pursuit of perfection.

- Morette is a recognized training centre for ECEIM and ECVS residents. For the right candidate and after proof of good collaboration, training as a specialist (residency) can be started in combination with clinical work if desired.
