Medical Director – Mixed or Small Animal Veterinarian | Creston, BC

Lead with purpose in the heart of the Kootenays.
A long-standing mixed animal practice in beautiful Creston, BC, is seeking an experienced and compassionate Veterinarian to step into a Medical Director role. This is an incredible opportunity to combine leadership, community connection, and diverse caseloads—all in a truly breathtaking setting.

With nearly 50 years of service in the region, this well-established hospital serves a broad client base with a caseload that is approximately 70% small animal and 30% large animal (primarily dairy, with some beef and equine). The area also presents strong potential to grow the equine side of the practice, making it an excellent opportunity for someone with equine interests.

About the Role:
We’re looking for a confident, motivated DVM with:

  • Strong leadership skills and an interest in mentoring

  • A collaborative mindset and a passion for high-quality care

  • A background in either small animal, equine, or mixed practice

  • Prior Medical Director experience (preferred), or a senior DVM ready to step into leadership

This position offers flexibility—whether you're a seasoned mixed animal vet or a small animal DVM with leadership aspirations, we’d love to chat.

The Practice:

  • 3 full-time Associates, 1 part-time DVM, and seasonal traveling support

  • Supported by a highly skilled team of RVTs and support staff

  • Fully equipped with:

    • In-house lab and pharmacy

    • Digital radiology (including dental and portable)

    • Ultrasound (portable and in-house)

    • Surgical suites for both small and large animals

    • Medical-grade laser therapy

Why Creston?
Tucked between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges, Creston is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're into hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, kayaking, mountain biking, or wildlife watching, the region has it all. With mild winters in town and deep powder in the nearby passes, Creston offers year-round adventure alongside small-town charm, local culture, and a strong sense of community.

You’ll also be within 90 minutes of four world-class ski resorts and surrounded by lakes, rivers, and wilderness areas—perfect for work-life balance.

What’s on Offer:

  • Full-time leadership position with flexible caseload

  • Supportive and experienced veterinary team

  • Opportunities for mentorship and career growth

  • Potential for partnership/ownership for the right candidate

  • Relocation support and competitive compensation
