Veterinary Medical Director

Atlas is excited to be working with a two-doctor small-animal hospital north of Cincinnati, Ohio, that is looking for a Medical Director to lead its next stage of growth. The role combines hands-on general practice with leadership of a small, experienced team that has the space and intention to expand.The hospital operates from a well-established 5,000-square-foot building with six exam rooms, which is more capacity than two doctors currently use. The caseload is dogs and cats, covering wellness visits, preventive care, medical workups, and routine soft tissue surgery and dentistry. Medicine here is personalized rather than protocol-driven, and the doctors, technicians and support staff regularly work through cases together so each patient gets the benefit of the whole team's experience.The two current doctors are experienced clinicians who want to build the practice alongside a new Medical Director. The aim is to grow into a larger multi-doctor hospital, which means more clinical capacity and more scheduling flexibility for doctors and clients. You will have clinical independence to set the hospital's medical direction, with operational and medical leaders available when you need them.This role is open to veterinarians who have strong clinical experience but have not yet held a Medical Director position. Training for new Medical Directors is thorough and ongoing. It includes private one-to-one coaching, leadership seminars, regular meetings with Medical Directors at other hospitals, along with access to a Medical Advisory Board for clinical questions. The role is weighted at roughly 80% hands-on medicine and 20% leadership and administration.Key highlightsCompetitive base salary, $25,000 Medical Director stipend and ProSalEquity partnership opportunityOpen to first-time Medical Directors with solid clinical experienceRoughly 80% clinical work, 20% leadership and administrationPrivate one-to-one leadership coaching and dedicated personal mentorsSeminars and regular peer meetings with other Medical DirectorsAccess to a Medical Advisory Board and clinical pathways5,000-square-foot hospital with six exam rooms and space to add doctorsTwo experienced doctors ready to grow the practice with youDogs and cats, with wellness, preventive medicine, medical cases, soft tissue surgery and dentistryClinical independence to shape the hospital's medical directionAbout youDVM degree and an Ohio veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain oneAt least five years of clinical experience in small-animal practiceReady to take the step into hospital leadership, whether or not you have held the title beforeConfident clinical judgment with routine soft tissue surgery and/or dentistryInterested in helping colleagues develop and in growing a small team into a larger oneClear, considerate communicator with clients, doctors and support staffOpen to feedback and to learning the business side of running a hospitalBenefitsCompetitive base salary, based on your agreed schedule$25,000 annual Medical Director stipend plus ProSalEquity partnership opportunityMedical, dental and vision insurance401(k) with company matchGenerous paid time off$2,400 annual lifestyle benefit for personal or professional useCE allowance and dedicated CE daysAVMA membership, state licensure and DEA registration paidLeadership coaching, mentorship and doctor development programsConfidential Employee Assistance Program
