DVM Focus is representing a full-time Medical Director Veterinarian opportunity with an established companion-animal practice in the greater Austin area of Texas.
This position is designed for an experienced veterinarian who wants to remain active in clinical medicine while taking a meaningful leadership role within the practice. The Medical Director will help guide clinical standards, support and mentor the veterinary team, contribute to practice growth, and work collaboratively with hospital leadership while maintaining medical autonomy.
For a veterinarian interested in taking the next step beyond clinical leadership, this opportunity also offers the potential for equity ownership and partnership.

The clinical environment is designed to give veterinarians the resources and support needed to practice high-quality medicine while maintaining professional autonomy.
