Medical Director

Lead a Great Team. Practice Great Medicine. Build Something That Lasts.

Medical Director | Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic

Havre de Grace, Maryland

Leadership doesn't have to mean giving up the part of veterinary medicine you love.

At Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic, we're looking for a Medical Director who enjoys mentoring others, practicing high-quality medicine, and helping shape the future of a thriving hospital—all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Whether you've been leading a team for years or you're ready to take the next step in your career, we'll provide the support, training, and resources to help you succeed. And if ownership has ever been part of your long-term goals, joint ownership is available—but never required.

Why You'll Love It Here

At Swan Creek, we believe the best hospitals are built by happy, supported teams.

You'll enjoy:

• Flexible scheduling that respects your life outside of work
• A collaborative team that genuinely enjoys working together
• Approximately five hours of protected administrative time each week
• Six months of leadership and management training
• Ongoing mentorship from experienced operational leaders and fellow Managing Veterinarians
• Opportunities to grow professionally while still practicing medicine
• Optional joint ownership for those interested in practice leadership

• Communicates with confidence and compassion
• Wants to help shape the future of a growing hospital
• Values teamwork just as much as clinical excellence
