Medical Director

Job Description

Job Description

Ready to shape a practice's future without giving up the hands-on medicine that made you a veterinarian?

If you're an experienced small animal clinician who wants a stronger voice in medical decisions, enjoys helping other doctors develop, and is ready to influence a practice's direction, this leadership opportunity in southeastern Washington could be worth exploring.

You'll combine an active clinical role with the opportunity to strengthen medical standards, support your colleagues, and help guide a growing companion animal practice. You won't be stepping away from patient care to manage from the sidelines—you'll remain involved in the medicine while helping shape how the team practices and grows.

What You'll Find Here

• A schedule worth considering: A four-day workweek is offered, with room to discuss scheduling preferences.
• Leadership with clinical involvement: Help refine protocols, improve medical quality, and contribute to decisions about the practice's future.
• Room to build a team: Mentor veterinarians, support recruitment, and help develop a collaborative medical culture.
• Meaningful surgical variety: Continue performing soft tissue procedures while maintaining a broad general-practice caseload.
• A supportive clinical environment: Work alongside veterinary professionals and hospital leadership with an emphasis on teamwork and patient care.
• A stronger financial package: Base compensation, production opportunities, and additional leadership compensation are available, with sign-on and relocation assistance offered.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a small animal general practice focused on preventive care, wellness, dentistry, diagnostic imaging, urgent appointments, and medical and surgical cases. The surgical scope includes routine procedures as well as more advanced soft tissue surgery, with diagnostic and in-house laboratory resources supporting clinical decisions.

The practice also sees occasional pocket pets and exotic animals. After-hours emergency coverage and on-call duties are not part of the role; overnight cases can be transferred to a local emergency provider.

Who Might Love This

This could suit a current Medical Director, Lead Veterinarian, or Chief of Staff—or an experienced associate ready to take the next step. A strong foundation in small animal medicine and surgery is essential, along with an interest in mentoring colleagues and helping a team grow.

The Basics

• Schedule: Four days per week; negotiable
• Experience: Experienced small animal veterinarian; prior leadership is preferred
• Location: Southeastern Washington
• Licensure: Washington veterinary license or eligibility to obtain one
• Compensation: Base salary, production opportunities, and leadership compensation
• Additional incentives: Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance

A Little About the Area

The region offers a sunnier, more relaxed pace than many larger West Coast markets, with outdoor recreation, cycling, water activities, and access to wider Pacific Northwest destinations. It may appeal to veterinarians seeking a change of scenery without giving up professional opportunity.
