Job description
Veterinary Medical Director | $140,000-$160,000 | Old Bridge, NJ
Lead a Hospital. Shape a Team. Still Practice the Medicine You Love. Some leadership roles pull veterinarians away from patient care. This isn't one of them.
At Route 516 Animal Hospital, we're looking for a Medical Director who wants the opportunity to guide a talented team, influence the future of a growing practice, and maintain an active role in medicine. This is a chance to make a lasting impact, not just on patients and clients, but on the veterinarians, technicians, and support staff who help make great medicine possible every day. If you're looking for a leadership opportunity where your voice matters, your ideas are welcomed, and your contributions help shape the future of a hospital, we'd love to meet you.
Why Route 516?
Lead Without Losing Your Identity as a Veterinarian: Maintain an active role in patient care while helping guide medical standards, mentorship, and hospital growth.
Influence the Future of the Hospital: Partner with an engaged team to support clinical excellence, strengthen culture, and drive long-term success.
Medical Autonomy Matters Here: Practice medicine your way while having the support of a veterinarian-led organization that values local decision-making.
Build a Team People Want to Be Part Of: Great hospitals aren't built by one person. They're built by leaders who develop people, encourage growth, and create an environment where teams thrive.
Support Beyond the Hospital Walls: You'll have the backing of Encore Vet Group along with a community of veterinary leaders who understand the opportunities and challenges of practice leadership.
