A well-established AAHA-accredited companion animal hospital is seeking a Medical Director to lead its veterinary team while maintaining an active clinical role. This is an exceptional opportunity for a veterinarian who is passionate about advancing evidence-based medicine, mentoring fellow veterinarians, and fostering a collaborative culture centered on clinical excellence and compassionate patient care.

With a long-standing reputation in its community and a dedicated, experienced support team, the practice offers an outstanding environment for a leader who enjoys developing people, elevating medical standards, and creating a positive workplace culture. A competitive sign-on incentive is also available for the selected candidate.

Practice Information:
This respected companion animal hospital has served its community for decades and is recognized for delivering high-quality veterinary care supported by experienced team members and advanced diagnostic technology. The hospital combines modern medicine with a collaborative, client-focused approach to patient care.  The practice is committed to practicing evidence-based medicine while encouraging innovation, teamwork, and continuous professional development.

• Long-tenured support team that promotes consistency and collaboration

Role Responsibilities:

• Lead the veterinary team by promoting excellence in evidence-based medicine and patient care.
• Mentor and support associate veterinarians through clinical coaching, collaboration, and professional development.
