Medical Director Veterinarian

Tempus Veterinary Recruitment · United States

Introduction
Our client is a privately owned veterinary hospital seeking a Medical Director to join their team in Millersville, Maryland. The hospital currently provides care for cats and dogs but is very open to expanding into additional species, such as pocket pets or exotics. Originally established as a boarding facility, the practice has expanded over time to provide veterinary care and is looking for a Medical Director who can contribute to the continued development of the hospital.

Role Description and Responsibilities
As Medical Director, you will combine clinical practice with leadership responsibilities, helping to establish the direction and medical quality of the hospital while continuing to provide high-quality, compassionate veterinary care. The caseload offers a balanced mix of sick and wellness appointments, with appointments scheduled for 30 minutes and drop-off cases carefully controlled to ensure the clinical team is not overwhelmed. Doctors currently have a dedicated surgery day with approximately three to five procedures, with the opportunity to grow the surgical and dental caseload further. Surgical experience is welcomed but is not required. The hospital is very flexible around scheduling. Start and finish times can also be discussed, with an hour-long lunch break during the day. The focus is on finding the right person rather than fitting someone into a predetermined schedule. The hospital is seeking an experienced veterinarian who can take on the Medical Director position and contribute positively to the hospital's continued development.

Practice Details
The hospital is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturdays from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm for appointments only. The practice adheres to Fear Free principles and provides full-service veterinary care including wellness, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, cold laser therapy, and urgent and emergency cases that can be managed in-house. The hospital is also beginning to explore telehealth opportunities. Rehabilitation has previously been offered, and the hospital has the capabilities and equipment to re-establish the service. There is also scope to develop additional clinical services based on the interests of the veterinary team. The hospital is equipped with a Sonoscape ProPet P60 ultrasound, CO laser, cold therapy laser, digital radiography, LigaSure, a full in-house laboratory, dental X-ray, and an underwater treadmill that could be brought back into use for rehabilitation services.

Team
The hospital currently has two veterinarians alongside a pool of relief veterinarians who regularly support the practice, with plans to continue growing the veterinary team. The clinical team benefits from a strong support ratio of approximately 2.5 technician assistants per doctor, alongside a floating registered veterinary technician who also sees appointments and two managers. The hospital values collaboration, accountability, kindness, and continued growth. Leadership welcomes ideas and input from the veterinary team, creating an opportunity for the incoming Medical Director to contribute to the future direction of the hospital.
