About the role
DVM Focus is representing a full-time Medical Director Veterinarian opportunity with an established companion-animal practice in the greater Austin area of Texas.
This position is designed for an experienced veterinarian who wants to remain active in clinical medicine while taking a meaningful leadership role within the practice.

The Practice
The practice provides comprehensive companion-animal care and supports veterinarians across preventive medicine, diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, and management of both routine and more complex medical cases.
The clinical environment is designed to give veterinarians the resources and support needed to practice high-quality medicine while maintaining professional autonomy. Dedicated areas for surgery and dentistry, diagnostic capabilities, and a supportive clinical team allow doctors to provide a broad range of care without unnecessarily restricting how they practice medicine.

* Medical Director leadership opportunity with continued clinical practice * Medical autonomy * Equity and partnership opportunity * Established companion-animal client base * Collaborative veterinary team * Flexible scheduling * Mentorship and professional-development resources * Continuing education support * Paid professional dues * Paid vacation, sick time, and holidays * Medical, dental, and vision insurance * Professional liability coverage * 401(k) * Life and supplemental insurance options * Employee assistance program * Personal pet-care benefits * Sign-on bonus opportunity * Relocation assistance * Production-based earning opportunity with no negative accrual
