A growing veterinary hospital in the highly desirable Nashville, Tennessee area is seeking an ambitious Medical Director / Veterinarian who wants to take the next step beyond a traditional Associate Veterinarian position.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a hospital, build your own team, shape the practice around your vision, and work toward genuine equity and future practice ownership without the significant upfront investment and financial risk typically associated with purchasing an established veterinary practice.

If you're an experienced veterinarian with leadership ambitions and an entrepreneurial mindset, this role offers the opportunity to build something of your own while receiving strong operational support.

What You’ll Receive

• $150,000$175,000 base salary, dependent on experience
• 20% production bonus with no negative accrual
• $25,000 sign-on bonus
• Genuine equity and future ownership opportunity
• Significant long-term earning potential as the hospital grows
• Comprehensive benefits package
• 3 weeks PTO
• Health insurance
• 401(k)
• Continuing Education allowance
• Additional benefits open to negotiation
• Lead the Hospital Your Way

This is more than a traditional clinical leadership role. You'll have genuine influence over the direction and development of the hospital.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build, lead, and mentor your veterinary team
• Influence hiring decisions and develop hospital culture
• Help select equipment and technology investments
• Expand clinical services and treatment options
• Establish clinical protocols and standards of care
• Develop the long-term vision for the hospital

You’ll receive operational support while maintaining the clinical autonomy and independence to practise medicine according to your professional standards and vision.

Leadership & Ownership Opportunity

For the right veterinarian, this role provides a genuine pathway toward practice ownership and long-term wealth creation.

Rather than taking on the substantial financial commitment of purchasing a veterinary hospital outright, you'll have the opportunity to grow alongside the practice, contribute to its success, and build equity over time.

This makes the position particularly attractive to veterinarians who have considered ownership but don't want to take on the traditional financial and operational risks associated with buying a practice independently.

What We’re Looking For

• A DVM or equivalent eligible for Tennessee veterinary licensure
• Ideally has 2+ years of clinical experience
• Passionate about providing high-quality patient care
• Interested in leadership and developing a strong veterinary team
• Motivated by professional and financial growth
• Entrepreneurial, ambitious, and driven
