Description
Our independent, full-service, established urban small animal practice in Northwest Washington, DC is looking for the next leader to replace our long-term, retiring Medical Director! This is also a potential pathway to future ownership opportunities.
Our Medical Director will be involved in all aspects of patient care, including wellness and preventative protocols, surgery, dentistry, pathology, and pharmacology. This position works in tandem with our management team (Owner, Practice Administrator, Practice Manager, and Technician Manager) to oversee personnel, policies, procedures, and other administrative duties.
You will be fully supported by current management and ownership with no need to make big business decisions on your own (your input is still valued!), worry about excess admIn work (we have resources most neighborhood clinics lack, such as a book keeper, marketing person and 401k plan manager) or or having to run out to the store to get missing supplies (awesome experienced managers are there to help).
The role of Medical Director is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to enhance their career and see what it is like to run or own a progressive small clinic. You can explore all areas of the veterinary field, specifically business and administration. As medical Director, you would have a key role in the decision-making process, which has a direct impact on our staff, clients, and patients. You could truly make a difference in the lives of so many individuals and pets.
Our facility is a private practice, not corporate. This allows our veterinarians to create paths and embrace their passions. No one dictates how to handle cases. We focus on creating an environment that supports and encourages learning and collaboration. Several of our veterinarians, technicians, and managers have over 10 years of experience in our field and clinic, and several of our support staff have worked with us equally long-term. This experience helps to create an efficient and proactive relationship between team members, which transfers to our clients and patients. We focus on the most recent advancements in veterinary medicine, equipment, and technology. This is fostered through consistent in and out-of-house CE opportunities and regular team meetings.
Our affluent clientele consists of young professionals and established residents. They prioritize their pets and follow our doctors' and staff's recommendations. They are respectful of our support staff and utilize the most up-to-date technology (texting, apps, etc.) to communicate and share information.
We recently significantly renovated and expanded our facility, including two new exam rooms, a new pharmacy, and a new lab. These upgrades will allow our clinic to increase appointment offerings and fulfill rising demand. They also reflect our consistent investment over the years and pursuit of excellence in all areas of the hospital.
Minimum salary of $180,000 plus incentive plan (negotiable). Offering hiring bonuses and annual retention bonuses. Benefits include 24/7 access to ownership and hospital administrator, 22% commission, 401K plan, paid vacation, sick, and safe leave up to 35 days based on tenure. Family leave is available up to 16 weeks per year. There are multiple options for medical, dental, and vision plans—life insurance for yourself and your family members. License, association dues, and liability insurance are renewed yearly. CE be Fit starts at $2500 and increases based on tenure—month metro benefits and parking available within walking distance.
