Mueller Veterinary Services
Mueller Veterinary Services is seeking an experienced Mixed Animal Veterinarian to join our team as a full-time Chief of Staff and help lead our well-established, community-oriented practice in Columbia, Illinois.
This is an exciting opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys the variety of mixed animal medicine and is ready to take the next step into clinical leadership. Our Chief of Staff will remain actively involved in patient care while partnering with hospital leadership to support our doctors, strengthen medical standards, mentor the veterinary team, and help guide the continued growth of the practice.
Mueller Veterinary Services has proudly served Columbia and the surrounding communities for decades, providing comprehensive care for both companion and large animal patients.
Our Facility & Medicine

About the Chief of Staff Role
As Chief of Staff, you'll serve as a clinical leader and resource for our veterinary team while continuing to practice the mixed animal medicine you enjoy.
