You’ll join a multi-specialty environment offering Internal Medicine, Oncology, Surgery, and 24/7 emergency care. Expect a workplace where creativity, compassion, and collaboration aren’t just buzzwords—they drive every decision and define the culture.

With access to advanced diagnostics including ultrasound, CT, endoscopy and more, you’ll have the tools needed to support outstanding care while shaping the strategic clinical direction of the hospital.

Your Role as Medical Director

  • Provide clinical leadership and mentorship to veterinarians across all departments

  • Partner closely with hospital leadership to enhance workflow, patient care and team wellbeing

  • Champion best practices and elevate medical quality standards

  • Foster a positive, supportive, inclusive culture where every team member thrives

  • Participate in an established national network of medical leaders for collaboration and guidance

What You’ll Bring

  • A DVM/VMD (or equivalent)

  • Eligibility for state licensure and DEA registration

  • Board certification or residency training in a specialty discipline

  • A passion for excellence, mentorship and driving positive change


What You’ll Receive

This role offers an outstanding benefits package crafted for senior clinicians and medical leaders, including:

  • Highly competitive compensation, enhanced by leadership stipends and performance incentives

  • 401(k) contributions to support long-term financial wellbeing

  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage

  • Paid parental leave and additional leave for new pet adoption

  • Robust mental health support, including 24/7 access to confidential resources

  • Funded continuing education, plus access to advanced leadership development programs

  • Support for family-forming journeys, including fertility and adoption benefits

  • Generous veterinary service discounts and wellness perks for your own pets

  • Student loan assistance tools to help you plan strategically

  • Opportunities for national-level networking, mentorship and professional growth through a dedicated medical excellence platform

This truly is a rare chance to lead a well-established specialty hospital while enjoying the creative, welcoming and culturally rich lifestyle that Decatur is famous for.
