Love practicing veterinary medicine but ready to make a bigger impact?

This role combines hands-on veterinary medicine with clinical leadership, without the administrative demands of a traditional Medical Director position.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $150,000+ realistic earning potential
• 4-day workweek
• No on-call or late-night hours
• Competitive base salary + production
• Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance
• Clinical mentorship and team leadership
• Experienced, supportive veterinary team
• Privately owned — no corporate production pressure
• Health insurance, PTO, CE allowance, and retirement plan
• Potential pathway to partnership/ownership
