Job description
Hospital Name: Eastview Veterinary Clinic
Job Type: Veterinarian - Managing / Medical Director
Employment Type: Permanent
Description & Requirements
Eastview Veterinary Clinic | Clarksville, TN (45 min from Nashville)
Ready to lead a fast-paced, high-volume practice — without sacrificing your nights, weekends, and holidays?
Eastview Veterinary Clinic is a well-established (since 1973), high-volume, walk-in based practice near Nashville, TN, seeking a confident, experienced Managing Veterinarian ready to step into leadership while continuing to practice hands-on medicine in our walk-in / urgent care / GP hybrid model.
Overview
The Managing Veterinarian partners with the Hospital Manager to drive the financial performance and general operations of the hospital, and to cultivate a supportive, collaborative team environment. You'll be supported and mentored by the Divisional Leadership Team through practice management training, reporting, and ongoing resources to lead a best-in-class clinic. The Managing Doctor will be responsible for:
Advancing Medical Care through establishing protocols, oversight, and quality of care.
Leading Staff and Practice by providing mentorship and support.
Financial Responsibilities to aid in the success of the practice.
Growing the Practice through innovative change and services as well as community involvement.
What Changes When You Step Into This Role
Our model was built for doctors who thrive on fast-paced, hands-on medicine but are done sacrificing their personal life — or their leadership ambitions — for it:
No nights. No overnight emergencies. No on-call rotation.
Closed weekends — no Saturday or Sunday shifts
No extended/late hours — predictable, consistent daily schedule
Still fast-paced and case-diverse — walk-in urgent care flow, real-time decision-making, and a full range of cases from wellness to surgery to same-day urgent visits
Leadership with support, not isolation — you set the medical direction, backed by a Hospital Manager and Divisional Leadership Team who handle the logistics
You shape the team's day — instead of an overbooked schedule stacked against you, you help design how the practice runs
If you're ready to lead without giving up the adrenaline of urgent care medicine, this model is designed for exactly that.
A Team Built to Support Your Leadership
We're intentionally structured so a Managing Veterinarian can focus on medicine and mentorship, not logistics:
Hospital Manager who partners with you on day-to-day operations
Associate DVMs who you'll mentor and collaborate with in a low-ego, case-discussion culture
Dedicated Veterinary Assistant assigned to each DVM
LVT who independently leads dental procedures
3–4 CSRs supporting steady client flow and communication
Inventory Manager ensuring supplies are always on hand
Hospital Attendant keeping daily operations efficient
This is a team-driven operation, not a "figure it out yourself" clinic.
