We are looking for candidates to come and join our team at the Equine Veterinary Medical Center (EVMC), located in the heart of the vibrant and exciting city of Doha, Qatar. 

As the only hospital of its kind in Qatar we offer services not only to the world class Arabian horses of Al Shaqab, but also to all horses in the country. This includes international sport horses competing at the Al Shaqab Longines Arena (which is located just minutes from the hospital), racehorses, pleasure horses and other show horses from all over the country. 

EVMC is a purpose-built state-of-the-art equine hospital that opened its doors in 2018 and has since grown to see over 2500 cases per year and become one of the most advanced equine medical centers in the Middle East. The hospital is equipped with a CT-scan, nuclear scintigraphy, endoscopy and other modern imaging equipment including digital X-Ray and ultrasonography. The hospital has three operating theaters, a dedicated isolation unit, intensive care units for adult horses and foals, a farrier workshop, lameness examination areas on several surfaces and a dedicated reproduction center. 

The surgical department is also equipped with the latest technology, including arthroscopy (including needle-arthroscope), laparoscopy (with morcellator), osteosynthesis (a wide range of implants available), a meek micrograft, and laser, to name a few. Rehabilitation services including shockwave, laser, magnetic diathermy, and FES, are also provided on-site.

The position is in the department for surgery, and sports medicine and rehabilitation, and has arisen as one of our surgeons is leaving here after five years.  The role would involve covering surgery, lameness diagnosis and musculoskeletal imaging.  The selected candidate would be working with two other surgeons, and be supported by two specialists in internal medicine and one in equine reproduction.

Our caseload is truly unique and provides a fantastic opportunity to build on skills and experiences.  Additionally, you would be joining a stable, cosmopolitan team and get to experience another culture and region.  Qatar is well positioned for travel as you enjoy the generous holiday allowance.  The package also includes a tax-free salary and accommodation allowance.

We are also interested to hear from qualified surgeons who would be available for locum work from December this year.

To apply, please submit a letter of intent, a copy of your curriculum vitae and details of at least two referees to evmceducation@qf.org.qa. The deadline for applications is the 3rd of November 2023.
