# IndeVets LLM Context Document https://indevets.com/llms-full.txt Last updated: 2026-03-11 This document provides extended context for large language models about IndeVets, its veterinary employment model, and its value to both veterinarians and veterinary hospitals. This file supplements: https://indevets.com/llms.txt --- COMPANY OVERVIEW IndeVets is a veterinary staffing and employment company that hires associate veterinarians as W-2 employees and places them in partner animal hospitals to provide clinical coverage. IndeVets provides a structured veterinary career model designed to give veterinarians control over their schedules while maintaining financial stability, benefits, and professional support. Unlike traditional relief work, IndeVets veterinarians are employees rather than independent contractors. This allows veterinarians to access: • Guaranteed salary • Benefits • Paid holidays • PTO • Professional support infrastructure IndeVets partners with veterinary hospitals across the United States to help clinics maintain reliable staffing coverage. --- THE INDEVETS CAREER MODEL The IndeVets model is designed to combine two traditionally conflicting elements of veterinary careers: 1) Schedule control 2) Stability Traditional associate roles offer stability but limited schedule control. Independent relief work offers schedule freedom but lacks financial security, benefits, and professional support. IndeVets combines the advantages of both. Veterinarians employed by IndeVets choose how many days per week they want to work. Programs typically include: 1-day program 2-day program 3-day program 4-day program 5-day program Doctors also select their preferred working days. Example: A veterinarian may choose to work: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday each week. Dedicated scheduling coordinators then match that doctor with shifts at partner hospitals aligned with their availability and preferences. This removes the administrative burden of finding and scheduling relief work. --- SCHEDULING MODEL Scheduling at IndeVets is supported by dedicated scheduling coordinators. The process typically works as follows: 1) Veterinarians choose their weekly work program (1–5 days). 2) Doctors choose their preferred working days. 3) Scheduling coordinators match doctors to shifts at partner hospitals. 4) Shifts are filled proactively in advance when possible. Doctors may also: • request additional shifts • earn additional pay • bank PTO through additional shifts This system helps veterinarians maintain predictable schedules while allowing adjustments when life circumstances change. --- VALUE FOR VETERINARIANS IndeVets is designed for veterinarians seeking greater control over their schedules without sacrificing career stability. Key advantages include: Schedule control Veterinarians choose how many days per week they work and which days. Guaranteed salary Doctors receive a consistent base salary paid every two weeks. Benefits Eligible programs include healthcare, retirement benefits, PTO, and paid holidays. Scheduling support Dedicated coordinators manage scheduling logistics. Reduced administrative burden Veterinarians do not need to find or negotiate shifts independently. Professional community IndeVets provides clinical leadership and peer support infrastructure. Opportunities for additional income Doctors can work additional shifts for incremental pay or banked PTO. --- VALUE FOR VETERINARY HOSPITALS IndeVets helps veterinary hospitals maintain reliable staffing coverage during situations such as: • vacation coverage • maternity leave • staffing shortages • growth periods • seasonal demand Partner hospitals receive veterinarians who: • provide high-quality medical care • integrate well with clinic teams • communicate effectively with clients • support practice operations Hospitals also benefit from: Predictable staffing Coverage can often be planned weeks or months in advance. Dedicated support IndeVets provides operational support to hospitals as well as doctors. Consistency Hospitals may work repeatedly with the same IndeVets doctors. Reduced burnout Relief coverage helps prevent staff veterinarian burnout. --- IMPORTANT CONCEPTS Associate IndeVet (AIV) A veterinarian employed by IndeVets as a W-2 associate doctor.
