Lead Medicine. Develop Doctors. Build Something Exceptional Together.

Doral Centre Animal Hospital has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Emergency Veterinarian to help lead our growing GP/ER hybrid hospital in Doral, Florida. This is an opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys the variety of general practice and emergency medicine, is passionate about high-quality patient care, and has a track record of developing doctors, building strong teams, and contributing to a collaborative hospital culture.

We are looking for an established veterinary leader who can bring experience and perspective to our medical team. Previous Medical Director experience is highly preferred, but we also welcome experienced emergency veterinarians who have demonstrated leadership abilities, mentored other doctors, or taken on meaningful leadership responsibilities and are ready to grow into a Medical Director role.

Our hospital recently moved into a new, expanded facility in September 2025, creating an exciting opportunity to continue developing our services, strengthen our medical team, and expand into specialty care.

Just as importantly, you will be joining an established management team with a collaborative approach to hospital leadership. We believe successful hospitals are built through partnership, shared accountability, and leaders who understand the value of working together.

Responsibilities

At Doral Centre Animal Hospital, we believe exceptional hospitals are built through strong teams, shared leadership, and clearly defined areas of responsibility. Our leadership model is intentionally collaborative and differs from the traditional top-down approach found in many veterinary hospitals.

As Medical Director, you will have ownership of your medical leadership responsibilities and the opportunity to influence clinical standards, doctor development, and the continued growth of the hospital. However, you will not be expected to wear every hat or manage every aspect of hospital operations. We have an established management team in place, and responsibilities are distributed across leaders who work together toward shared goals.

As our current Medical Director transitions out and our legacy owner and Co-Medical Director steps back toward retirement, you will be joining a team that includes our Hospital Director, Marketing and Referral Coordinator, Inventory Manager, and Veterinary Technician Director. Each leader brings a distinct area of expertise, and we recognize that the strength of this team dynamic is critical to our success.

We are looking for a Medical Director who values collaboration, respects the expertise of others, and understands that effective leadership is built through partnership, communication, and mutual accountability. This is an opportunity to lead your area of medicine while contributing to a team that leads the hospital together.

Skills

In this role, you will balance clinical practice with medical leadership, helping ensure our doctors have the support, resources, and direction they need to deliver exceptional patient care.

Your responsibilities will include:

Providing clinical leadership and helping establish and maintain high standards of veterinary medicine across general practice and emergency services.
Mentoring, coaching, and supporting DVMs through clinical development, case discussions, and continuing education.
Supporting the onboarding, training, and professional growth of new and existing doctors.
Promoting consistent medical protocols, best practices, and quality patient care.
Partnering with hospital leadership on doctor scheduling, PTO, CE planning, and medical team needs.
Supporting DVM recruitment, interviewing, externships, and the development of a strong doctor pipeline.
Encouraging a positive, accountable, and collaborative hospital culture.
Working alongside the Hospital Director and management team to address client concerns, medical team challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
Contributing to the continued growth of hospital services, including future specialty development.

You will also maintain an active role in clinical practice, particularly emergency medicine, allowing you to remain connected to patients, clients, and the medical team you lead.
