Veterinary Career Center

VCA Lewis Animal Hospital is seeking a full time Medical Director to join our great team in Columbia, Maryland!

We are a busy, 4-doctor hospital that focuses on compassionate care and excellent customer service.  Our extremely close-knit staff is here for the wellbeing of the pet and our wonderful clients!  The hospital is recently renovated and we pride ourselves on the pristine, clean, welcoming look of our facility.  Our facility features multiple exam rooms, a large surgery suite, ultrasound machine, dental suite, digital radiology and digital dental radiology. 

We primarily see dogs, cats and some pocket pets with a goal of expanding our exotic services with an associate that has the desire and skills to do so.  We pride ourselves on being a teaching hospital for veterinary students as well as our tech interns!

This is an outstanding opportunity for a motivated veterinarian to continue practicing medicine while establishing the direction and medical quality of the hospital like a practice owner. Plus, you'll have the solid backing of experts in Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Payroll, and more, to help you succeed. 

A full time doctor schedule will consist of a 4-day workweek (one assigned surgery/procedure day) with rotating Saturdays. 

Columbia is an extremely beautiful, family oriented area.  You can drive a few minutes north to visit Baltimore and you can drive less than an hour south to visit Washington, DC. Howard County is limitless with community events, great schools and pet friendly living!
