Are You a Driven DVM Ready to Step Into a Meaningful Leadership Role?

I’m delighted to present an outstanding Medical Director opportunity just outside Chicago—an ideal position for a veterinarian who’s ready to lead with confidence, shape clinical standards, and guide a dedicated team, all while enjoying the balance that comes with a quieter setting near a world-class city.

This AAHA-accredited small-animal hospital operates in a charming, rustic environment that gives you space to breathe while still offering easy access to Chicago’s culture, nightlife, and exceptional dining. It’s the perfect blend for someone who wants fulfilment at work and quality of life at home.

In this leadership role, you’ll have genuine influence over clinical direction, mentoring, team culture, and operational priorities. You’ll also enjoy real medical autonomy, opportunities to pursue your clinical interests, and a clear path to future ownership if that’s something you aspire to.

What You Can Expect:

  • Flexible scheduling designed to protect work-life balance

  • Full clinical freedom to practise medicine your way

  • Competitive compensation, tailored individually

  • Comprehensive benefits, including PTO, health/vision/dental/life coverage, 401K, and pet-care discounts

  • Substantial sign-on incentives, plus relocation assistance and student loan support

  • Ongoing development, including paid CE, professional dues, and access to a strong mentor network

  • Future ownership opportunities for those seeking long-term growth

The Ideal Candidate:

  • A motivated DVM ready for a Medical Director position

  • Strong communicator with a collaborative, supportive approach

  • Experienced in general medicine and surgery

  • Passionate about leading a team and elevating patient care standards

  • Eligible for state licensure, DEA certification, and USDA accreditation
