Medical Lead Veterinarian at Brookfield Veterinary Wellness & UC

Medical Lead Veterinarian at Brookfield Veterinary Wellness & Urgent Care

Love Practicing Medicine? Ready to Help Lead It?

Interest In: High-Quality GP, Urgent Care & Clinical Leadership: Brookfield Veterinary Wellness & Urgent Care offers a unique opportunity for an experienced veterinarian who enjoys the relationships and continuity of general practice, the variety and clinical challenge of urgent care, and the opportunity to help guide medicine within an AAHA-accredited hospital.

Our hospital provides comprehensive small-animal care, including wellness and preventative medicine, internal medicine, advanced diagnostics, dentistry, routine and advanced surgery, pain management, and same-day urgent care.

From building long-term relationships with clients and their pets to working through more complex or time-sensitive cases, Brookfield offers the opportunity to practice a broad scope of medicine in an engaging clinical environment.

We're looking for a veterinarian who wants to remain hands-on with patients while helping shape the medical direction of the hospital.

Medical Lead Opportunity- Be a Leader of Medicine: This is a role for an experienced veterinarian who is ready to make a greater impact on the doctors, medical standards, and clinical culture of a hospital, without stepping away from the medicine they love.

As Medical Lead, your primary focus will remain clinical. You'll continue seeing patients, performing procedures, managing cases, and building relationships with clients, while also serving as a trusted medical resource for the team.

Your leadership responsibilities will center on supporting high-quality medicine, encouraging collaboration, helping guide clinical protocols, and partnering with hospital and regional leadership on the continued growth and success of the practice.

This is about leading medicine, not becoming a full-time administrator.

GP + Urgent Care- The Best of Both Worlds: Brookfield offers a genuinely diverse clinical environment where preventative care and established client relationships meet same-day and urgent medicine.

One day may involve wellness visits, chronic disease management, dentistry, and surgery. Another may bring acute illnesses, wounds, gastrointestinal cases, diagnostic workups, or patients needing urgent evaluation and stabilization.

The hospital provides urgent and emergency evaluation during business hours, with referral relationships for patients requiring advanced or 24-hour emergency care.

For a Medical Lead who enjoys variety, this creates an opportunity to stay clinically engaged while helping guide medical standards across both GP and urgent care.

You don't have to choose between meaningful client relationships and interesting medicine. Here, you can enjoy both.

An Opportunity to Shape the Hospital's Medical Future: We're looking for a leader who can help maintain strong medical standards while supporting an environment where doctors and support staff feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and continuing to grow.

The right person will be approachable, collaborative, and confident in their clinical judgment, with the ability to provide direction when needed while recognizing the strengths and perspectives of the team around them.

You'll have the opportunity to partner with hospital and regional leadership on clinical initiatives, medical protocols, workflow improvements, and opportunities to further develop the hospital's GP and urgent care capabilities.

Experienced Veterinarian- Formal Leadership Experience Welcome, but Not Required: If you're currently a Medical Director or Medical Lead and are looking for a new opportunity, we'd love to talk.

If you've been thinking about taking the next step in your career, this could be an opportunity to grow into medical leadership while remaining closely connected to your patients and the work you enjoy most.

AAHA-Accredited + Certified Calm Clinic: Brookfield is proud to be an AAHA-accredited hospital, reflecting its commitment to established standards across patient care, surgery, diagnostics, anesthesiology, client service, and hospital operations.

The hospital is also a Certified Calm Clinic, with a team trained to recognize patient body language and use individualized approaches to help create a more comfortable experience for pets.

As Medical Lead, you'll be joining a hospital where thoughtful patient care and clinical standards are already important parts of the practice's identity.

Facility & Clinical Capabilities: Brookfield is a full-service hospital equipped to support comprehensive GP medicine, diagnostic workups, surgery, and urgent care.

Clinical capabilities include in-house diagnostic testing, radiography, dentistry, routine and advanced surgical procedures, anesthetic care, and the resources to evaluate and stabilize urgent patients during hospital hours.

For a Medical Lead, having these capabilities means being able to support a broad range of medicine while working alongside the team to identify opportunities for continued clinical growth.

Supportive Veterinary Team: Work alongside a compassionate team committed to providing thorough, personalized care for dogs and cats.

Our goal is to create an environment where veterinarians and support staff work together, communicate openly, and feel comfortable discussing cases and supporting one another throughout the day.

As Medical Lead, you'll play an important role in helping foster that collaborative environment while remaining an active part of the clinical team.

Continued Clinical Growth: Stepping into medical leadership doesn't mean you've reached the end of your own clinical development.

Whether you're interested in expanding your surgical skills, pursuing advanced dentistry, strengthening your urgent care capabilities, or developing another area of medicine, we want to support your continued growth.

In addition to generous CE support, you'll have access to our Clinical Tracks Program, offering complimentary RACE-approved CE facilitated by veterinary specialists within our network.

Have a special interest? Let's talk about how we can help make it a larger part of your everyday practice.

Scheduling & Work-Life Balance: We recognize that the hours listed on a hospital website don't necessarily reflect an individual veterinarian's schedule.

Brookfield's extended hospital hours allow us to serve our community across both GP and urgent care, and we're open to discussing scheduling preferences and a structure that works for both the incoming Medical Lead and the hospital.

Please don't let our extended hospital hours keep you from starting a conversation.

Patient Mix: Enjoy a comprehensive dog and cat caseload ranging from routine wellness and preventative medicine to internal medicine, dentistry, surgery, acute illness, injuries, and urgent presentations.

The combination of GP and urgent care offers the opportunity to develop lasting client relationships while continuing to work through interesting and varied cases.
