Want to grow into medical leadership without giving up the clinical work you enjoy?
This full-time opportunity could be a strong fit for a veterinarian who wants to influence how a general practice delivers care, help colleagues develop, and contribute to the direction of the hospital while continuing to see patients.
You’ll combine hands-on medicine with leadership responsibilities, working alongside practice leadership to strengthen clinical standards, support the veterinary team, and build on an established client base.
What You'll Find Here
Lead while staying clinical: Continue practicing medicine and surgery while helping guide the broader medical team.
Support other veterinarians: Mentor colleagues, share clinical knowledge, and encourage ongoing professional development.
Help shape the practice: Contribute to decisions around patient care, team effectiveness, and future clinical priorities.
Build your leadership skills: Access dedicated leadership education and one-on-one mentorship.
Earn beyond base salary: Production-based compensation and additional Medical Director pay provide opportunities beyond the starting salary.
What You’ll Be Doing
This is a small-animal general practice serving dogs and cats, with a range of preventive care, diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, and select urgent-care services. The practice has an established client base and resources to support a broad range of everyday veterinary needs.
You’ll balance patient care with oversight of medical standards, clinical decision-making, and the professional growth of the team.
Who Might Love This
An experienced clinician with strong medical and surgical skills who enjoys helping others improve could thrive here. Previous leadership experience is welcome, but this may also suit a veterinarian ready to take on a first Medical Director role with access to structured development and guidance.

Position: Full-time Veterinary Medical Director
