V CA Jackson Animal Hospital in Jackson, Michigan is seeking a highly experienced Veterinarian to lead our DVM team as Medical Director .
The Medical Director (MD) under direction of the field management team, is responsible for establishing the medical quality and patient care practiced by all doctors in a given hospital. The MD achieves this through strong leadership and serving as a mentor and role model for the associate veterinarians and staff. A MD should demonstrate a strong work ethic, integrity, and a consistent positive attitude. The MD is also an integral part of the hospital management team responsible for the overall financial performance of the hospital, and helps create and drive the overall direction for the hospital that will achieve positive results.

At VCA, we are committed to providing a work environment allowing professional growth and a healthy work-life balance! VCA Jackson has an experienced team consisting of highly trained and experienced staff including skilled assistants and Credentialed Veterinary Technicians. Staff backgrounds include general practice, specialty, and emergency - with some staff members having almost twenty years experience. Our hospital has a unique atmosphere in that we see a variety of primary care and emergent cases. We are in a community without readily available specialty hospitals, which provides us the opportunity to work up many unique patients. It is the best of both worlds without the hassle of typical emergency and specialty hours.
