Regional Medical Director Opportunity
Our organization is on the lookout for a Regional Medical Director (RMD) to provide support to our veterinary hospitals located in Colorado, including areas such as southern Denver, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs, Eagle, Basalt, Glenwood Springs, and Grand Junction.
This position is tailored for a veterinarian who is passionate about mentoring fellow doctors, enhancing hospital teams, and fostering practice growth while ensuring high standards of medical care.
As the Regional Medical Director, you will act as a clinical partner to our veterinarians and hospitals, collaborating closely with local teams and a Regional Operations Director to synchronize medical leadership with the success of our hospitals. This role combines mentorship, teamwork, and strategic guidance to ensure that veterinarians feel supported, hospitals are well-equipped, and patients receive outstanding care.
Key Responsibilities
- Support and Develop Veterinarians: Collaborate with DVMs throughout the region to facilitate their professional development via mentorship, coaching, and planning. Conduct evaluations and enhance their medical, surgical, and communication skills.
- Strengthen Hospital Collaboration: Regularly engage with hospital teams to exchange best practices, enhance workflows, and ensure that veterinarians have the necessary clinical resources to serve their communities effectively.
- Recruit and Develop Veterinary Talent: Assist in attracting and onboarding skilled veterinarians to the region. Support the mentorship and integration of new doctors to promote long-term success and engagement.
- Partner for Hospital Success: Collaborate closely with the Regional Operations Director to assist hospital leaders with scheduling, equipment investments, and aligning medical initiatives with hospital growth.
- Support Growth in Colorado: Aid hospitals in expanding services, enhancing medical capabilities, and fostering thoughtful regional growth while maintaining high-quality medical standards.
- Build the Future Veterinary Workforce: Promote externship and internship programs and represent our organization within the veterinary community to help cultivate our future talent pipeline.
Success Metrics for the First Year
- First 90 Days: Establish relationships with veterinarians and hospital teams while assessing the strengths and opportunities of each facility in the region.
- 3–6 Months: Initiate regular collaboration and mentorship with doctors, provide clinical resources to hospital teams, and assist in recruiting and onboarding new veterinarians.
- 6–12 Months: Enhance collaboration among hospitals, support service expansion where suitable, and help nurture emerging medical leaders in the region.
Why This Role Stands Out
In our organization, Regional Medical Directors prioritize supporting hospitals rather than overseeing them from afar. We believe that exceptional veterinary care is achieved when doctors feel trusted, connected, and supported. Our RMDs emphasize:
- Mentorship over management
- Partnership with local hospitals
- Collaboration among veterinary teams
- Balancing medical quality with sustainable growth
This is a unique opportunity to shape the veterinary culture in a region by supporting outstanding hospitals and helping veterinarians build fulfilling, long-term careers.
Qualifications
- Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from an accredited institution.
- Current state licensure in good standing.
- Experience in managing multi-site veterinary hospitals is essential.
- Previous ownership of a hospital or experience as a Lead Veterinarian is highly preferred.
- Outstanding interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, with the ability to present key information clearly.
- Strong organizational abilities and meticulous attention to detail.
Support and Benefits
As a member of our leadership team, you will benefit from the extensive resources of a larger network, allowing you to focus on empowering your teams and enhancing medical excellence.
- Executive Compensation: A competitive salary along with annual bonus incentives based on regional performance.
- Comprehensive Wellbeing: Executive-level coverage including health, dental, vision, critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident, and life insurance.
- Financial Health: A robust 401k plan with a generous company match, plus long and short-term disability insurance.
- Commitment to Growth: Access to dedicated continuing education resources (30-40 hours annually) and our Clinical Tracks Program to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine.
