๐Ÿพ Leadership Opportunity โ€“ Associate DVM or Medical Director (Independent Practice, Near Reno) – NV218

Shape the future of a thriving small animal practice while enjoying balance, autonomy, and impact.

We’re an independently owned, full-service small animal clinic serving the growing community just outside Reno โ€” where the Sierra Nevada mountains meet wide open skies. As we continue to grow and prepare for exciting transitions, weโ€™re seeking an experienced DVM with leadership aspirations or a seasoned Medical Director ready to guide our talented team into the next phase of excellence.

  • Collaborate directly with ownership on vision, standards, and culture

๐ŸŒŸ What Weโ€™re Looking For

  • Passion for mentorship, collaboration, and client education
  • Interest in surgery, dentistry, or other clinical specialties is a plus
  • Someone who values long-term relationships โ€” with patients, clients, and their team
  • A motivated professional excited about growth within an independent practice
