Emergency Veterinary Medical Director

Your Role as a Medical Director

As Medical Director of our upcoming Kenosha hospital, you'll help set the foundation for a brand-new emergency veterinary hospital from day one. You'll have the opportunity to shape the medical culture, build relationships within the community, mentor your team, and help establish the standards that will guide the hospital as it grows toward 24/7 operations.

You'll work closely with EVCC's Executive Medical Director and Location Manager, while having the support of an entire network of veterinary professionals behind you. And you won't have to figure it all out alone. You'll receive one-on-one mentorship from an existing EVCC Medical Director, including in-person support during your initial transition.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
  • Advocate for the entire clinical team and partner with the Location Manager to ensure equipment, inventory, protocols, and staffing are appropriate for EVCC standards
  • Help establish and oversee 24/7 hospital operations while maintaining exceptional clinical and client service standards
  • Provide medical insight and participate in the resolution of client concerns
  • Lead onsite mentorship for new DVMs and model effective instruction for the clinical support team
  • Provide mentorship for selected VTS candidates
  • Facilitate and participate in DVM check-ins and evaluations
  • Manage DVM scheduling for the hospital
  • Hold the DEA license for the location and ensure legal and compliance standards are met
  • Build relationships within the veterinary industry and local community to grow EVCC's impact
  • Partner with the recruiting team on DVM events, candidate interviews, and the externship program
  • Champion collaboration, professional growth, and a positive team culture

Who Thrives Here

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
  • Graduate of an AVMA-accredited Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program
  • Minimum of 2 years of emergency veterinary experience
  • We will alternatively consider reduced ER experience when combined with a minimum of 3 years of clinical practice and leadership experience for the right candidate
  • Proficiency in common emergency surgeries
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills and compassionate bedside manner
  • Ability to build trust and strong relationships with clients-both human and furry
  • A desire to lead, mentor, collaborate, and help build something from the ground up

How We Invest in You

We believe people do their best work when they feel valued and supported.

WE OFFER:
  • $200K+ compensation package, plus a 401K with a 4% company match
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits that start on day one
  • Flexible scheduling to support your life outside of work
  • Relocation allowance to help make your move to Kenosha a little easier
  • Bonus plan
  • A high technician-to-DVM ratio, so you can focus on what you do best-patient care, diagnostics, and case investigation
  • A BIG focus on learning and growing, with continuing education and professional development opportunities
  • One-on-one mentorship with an existing EVCC Medical Director, including in-person support during your initial transition
  • Regular Medical Director team check-ins and an annual in-person Medical Director Summit
  • Real opportunities to grow your career within a veterinarian-led organization
  • And the little (big) things, like veterinary care discounts for your own pets and cool EVCC swag

If You're Looking For...

A hospital where:
  • You get to build something from the beginning
  • Your medical leadership and perspective are valued
  • Your team has your back
  • You can make a meaningful impact in a community
  • You're supported by experienced veterinary leaders
  • You can focus on medicine with a strong technician-to-DVM ratio
  • Your growth is encouraged, not gatekept

We'd love to meet you.
