Veterinary Medical Director - Leadership Role | Baltimore, MD

A progressive small animal hospital in the heart of Baltimore is seeking a confident and compassionate veterinarian with strong general practice and surgical skills to step into a Medical Director position. This is an ideal role for a DVM ready to take the next step into leadership while still practicing high-quality medicine alongside a collaborative team.

This well-established, Fear Free® certified clinic is located in a vibrant, historic district of Baltimore. With five fully equipped exam rooms, a dedicated surgical suite on a separate floor, in-house laboratory, digital radiography (including dental), and a commitment to gold-standard medicine, the practice serves a diverse caseload of dogs, cats, and exotic species. Since its founding over two decades ago, it has built a loyal client base and a reputation for compassionate, patient-focused care.

Leadership Opportunity:

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Lead by example in clinical excellence, communication, and client service
  • Mentor associate veterinarians and support staff to foster professional growth
  • Guide clinical protocols and decision-making to support patient outcomes
  • Collaborate with management to streamline workflows and support a positive culture
  • Perform routine surgeries (e.g., spays/neuters, mass removals, foreign body surgeries)
  • Deliver high-quality dentistry, including extractions with radiographic support
  • Support and promote low-stress, Fear Free handling and patient care
Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive base salary ranging from $150,000-$180,000 (based on experience)
  • Ownership interest? $400,000 equity ownership package with no money out of pocket
  • Production-based bonuses with no negative accrual
  • Up to $50,000 sign-on bonus
  • Relocation support available
  • Student loan assistance: Up to $15,000/year for 4 years
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and paid parental leave
  • CE allowance with additional CE-dedicated PTO
  • Coverage of licensure, dues, and liability insurance
  • Access to advanced CE opportunities, including hands-on training and leadership development
  • Flexible full-time or part-time scheduling options
Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) from an accredited program
  • Licensed or eligible to practice in Maryland
  • Minimum of 3 years' clinical experience in small animal medicine
  • Experienced in GP dentistry and soft tissue surgery
  • Previous experience mentoring or leading veterinary teams preferred
  • Passion for collaboration, coaching, and driving clinical excellence
