Medical Director

Job Description

Job Description

Ready to take the lead in veterinary medicine without giving up the hands-on work you enjoy?

If you're an experienced DVM who wants a greater voice in clinical decisions, enjoys helping other veterinarians grow, and is ready to influence how a practice moves forward, this opportunity in Arizona could be a compelling next step.

This is a full-time Medical Director role within an established small animal general practice. You'll continue seeing patients while helping guide medical standards, strengthen team collaboration, and shape the practice's future—with an emphasis on clinical leadership rather than stepping away from medicine entirely.

What You'll Find Here

• Lead through medicine. Help guide clinical protocols, promote consistent standards of care, and bring sound judgment to challenging medical decisions.
• Make an impact on other doctors. Share your experience, support colleagues' development, and encourage a culture of learning and collaboration.
• Keep your clinical skills active. Continue practicing general medicine, surgery, and dentistry while expanding your leadership responsibilities.
• Influence how the practice operates. Collaborate with practice leadership on medical quality, team workflows, and day-to-day clinical challenges.
• Build on an established foundation. Step into a leadership opportunity with an existing team and a planned transition, rather than starting from scratch.
• Earn for your contribution. Compensation includes production incentives and additional opportunities tied to leadership responsibilities.

What You'll Be Doing

The practice focuses on companion animal general medicine, with opportunities across preventive care, diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, and urgent cases during regular business hours. In-house diagnostic resources and an experienced support team help facilitate patient care.

Who Might Love This

This could suit an experienced small animal veterinarian ready for a Medical Director, Lead Veterinarian, or similar position—or an accomplished associate interested in taking that next step. You'll likely enjoy it if you value communication, clinical accountability, mentoring, and collaborative decision-making.

Previous leadership experience is preferred, along with strong general practice skills and an interest in supporting both medical quality and practice development.

The Basics

• Schedule: Full-time, four-day work week, with three consecutive days off and rotating Saturdays
• Location: Arizona
• Compensation: Tailored to experience, leadership responsibilities, and schedule preferences
• Additional earning opportunities: Production bonus, leadership compensation, and potential additional bonuses
• Licensure: Arizona veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain one before starting

Benefits

• Medical insurance options
• Paid time off and holidays
• Continuing education allowance
• Professional dues and license reimbursement
• Leadership development support
