Job description
Lead an Advanced Hospital — And Keep Practicing the Medicine You Love
A $125,000 signing bonus, a leadership role at a progressive hospital with CT, laparoscopy, and full rehab capabilities — and an active clinical caseload so you never leave the medicine behind. If you want real influence and the tools to practice at the top of your game, this is it.
CareVet of Arlington Heights is looking for a Medical Director to help shape the clinical direction and continued growth of an established, progressive multi-DVM hospital — while continuing to see patients and practice in your areas of interest.
Why This Role Stands Out
$125,000 signing bonus package
Advanced medicine — CT, ultrasound, laparoscopy, LigaSure, and a full rehab suite
Lead an experienced multi-DVM team while keeping an active clinical caseload
Strong operational support — so you lead medicine and people, not paperwork
A real voice in the hospital's direction and its next chapter
Predictable scheduling and work-life balance
Lead While Continuing to Practice
This is a clinical leadership opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to make an impact without stepping away from patient care. As Medical Director, you'll be a trusted clinical resource for the team while partnering with hospital and operational leadership on the practice's continued success.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
Provide clinical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to fellow veterinarians
Help maintain high standards for patient care and medical quality
Support doctor development and continued clinical growth
Foster a collaborative, accountable team culture
Identify opportunities to strengthen hospital workflows and patient care
Partner with hospital leadership on goals and growth
Continue seeing patients and practicing in your areas of interest
Strong operational support is already in place, so you can focus your leadership on medicine and people rather than administrative overload.
An Established Hospital Built for Progressive Medicine
CareVet of Arlington Heights is a long-standing, multi-doctor practice with the technology, team, and resources to manage cases well beyond routine general practice. Our doctors collaborate on cases, use advanced diagnostics, and have the freedom to pursue their individual clinical interests — all backed by the knowledge and experience of the larger team.
We value:
Collaborative medicine and thorough diagnostics
Strong doctor-to-doctor communication and clinical autonomy
Mentorship and professional development
Excellent technician utilization
Predictable scheduling and work-life balance
As Medical Director, you'll build on that foundation and help guide the hospital into its next chapter.
Advanced Medical Capabilities
You’ll have access to an impressive range of diagnostic, surgical, and treatment capabilities:
CT scanner
Ultrasound
Laparoscopy
LigaSure and electrocautery
Fully equipped surgical suite
Complete in-house laboratory
Digital dental suite
Rehabilitation services further expand the care you can offer, including:
Therapy pool
Underwater treadmill
Laser therapy
Electronic stimulation therapy
The hospital also features dual reception areas for efficient client flow and a drive-through pharmacy.
Who We're Looking For
An experienced veterinarian excited to influence medicine, support other doctors, and help an established hospital keep growing. You could be a great fit if you:
Are ready to step into leadership — or continue growing as an established Medical Director
Enjoy mentoring and developing other veterinarians
Lead collaboratively and value your team's input
Are committed to high-quality, progressive medicine
Enjoy surgery, diagnostics, advanced case management, or another clinical interest
Want a meaningful voice in hospital direction
Value work-life balance while still wanting to make an impact
Previous Medical Director experience is welcome but not required — strong experienced veterinarians ready to take the next step into leadership are encouraged to apply.
