🐾 Leadership Opportunity – 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 — where the Sierra Nevada mountains meet wide open skies. As we continue to grow and prepare for exciting transitions, we’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.


🌟 Why This Role Stands Out

  • Lead clinical quality, mentorship, and team development
  • Collaborate directly with ownership on vision, standards, and culture
  • Play a key role in succession planning and long-term practice stability
  • Enjoy a truly collaborative, mentorship-focused environment

This is a rare opportunity for a veterinarian who’s ready to make a meaningful impact — within a supportive, independent clinic that values team connection, patient care, and professional growth.


✅ Role Options:

  • Leadership-Track Associate DVM (3–5+ years’ experience)
  • Experienced Medical Director

🧭 Responsibilities Include:

  • Mentoring and supporting fellow veterinarians and staff
  • Upholding clinical standards and guiding medical decision-making
  • Driving a culture of positivity, accountability, and learning
  • Building strong client relationships and trust

🌟 What We’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 — with patients, clients, and their team
  • A motivated professional excited about growth within an independent practice

💼 Compensation & Benefits

  • 💰 $120K–$135K base salary for leadership-track DVM (DOE)
  • 💰 $135K–$145K base for experienced Medical Director (DOE)
  • 🎯 Annual leadership stipend: $5K–$10K for defined leadership roles
  • 🏖 4-day workweek (10-hour shifts), no weekends
  • 🩺 Full medical benefits
  • 🎓 CE allowance
  • 📝 NV license, DEA, and controlled substances license covered
  • 🚚 Relocation assistance available
  • 💼 Simple IRA with 3% employer match
