Medical Director

Job Description

Job Description

Ready for a leadership role where you can influence the medicine, support your colleagues, and still do the clinical work you love?

Some veterinarians reach a point where they want more than a full appointment schedule. They want a say in how care is delivered, a chance to help other doctors develop, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference in a practice.

This New Mexico opportunity brings those goals together. As Medical Director, you'll remain involved in small animal medicine while helping guide clinical quality, strengthen teamwork, and contribute to the practice's future direction.

What You'll Find Here

• Stay hands-on. Continue seeing patients and performing surgery while expanding your influence beyond your own caseload.
• Help shape clinical standards. Contribute to medical protocols and encourage thoughtful, evidence-based decision-making.
• Invest in your colleagues. Share knowledge, discuss cases, and help fellow veterinarians build their skills and confidence.
• Have a voice in practice development. Work with practice leadership on clinical improvements, team priorities, and long-term goals.
• Build on an existing foundation. Step into a leadership position within an established practice rather than taking on the challenge of building a team from the ground up.
• Be recognized for leadership. The compensation structure includes production-based earning potential and additional compensation associated with the Medical Director role.

What You'll Be Doing

The clinical work spans companion animal general practice, including preventive care, internal medicine, chronic disease management, dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and urgent appointments. Diagnostic imaging and in-house laboratory capabilities support everyday case management.

You'll balance patient care with responsibilities that help guide medical quality and support the wider veterinary team.

Who Might Love This

This role could be a strong fit for a veterinarian with at least five years of small animal clinical experience who is ready for a broader role. Current or former medical leaders may find the opportunity appealing, as may experienced associates preparing to step into leadership.

Success will depend on sound clinical judgment, clear communication, and a genuine interest in mentoring others. Previous leadership experience is preferred.

The Basics

• Schedule: Full-time
• Location: New Mexico
• Experience: Minimum five years in small animal medicine
• Licensure: New Mexico license or ability to obtain one before starting
• Compensation: Base salary, production opportunities, and a Medical Director stipend
• Potential additional offerings: Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance; eligibility and terms to be confirmed

Benefits

• Paid time off and holidays
• Continuing education allowance
• 401(k) with employer match
