Explore leadership opportunities
At Veterinarian Partners, leadership means possibility. It’s about empowering doctors to take the lead in shaping hospitals that reflect their ideals: clinically, culturally, and operationally. Whether you’ve always envisioned yourself running a practice or are just starting to think about what’s next, we offer flexible, personalized paths to help you grow into the role that’s right for you.
From opening a brand-new, state-of-the-art hospital to stepping into an established practice with strong foundations, you’ll have everything you need to lead with confidence, while staying rooted in the kind of medicine you love.
A leadership path designed around you
No two doctors, and no two leadership journeys, are alike. We meet you where you are and help you grow into where you want to be.
Launch something new
If you’ve got a vision for the kind of hospital you’d love to lead, we’ll help you build it from the ground up. Our de novo opportunities are ideal for experienced doctors ready to create something extraordinary, with full support for site planning, hiring, operations, and everything in between.
Meet the veterinarians who helped shape their own hospitals and are now thriving as Medical Directors.
Grow into a leadership role
Many of our Medical Directors started as associate DVMs, and with the right support, they’ve stepped confidently into leadership roles. You’ll have access to experienced mentors, practical leadership training, and the encouragement to take your next step when you’re ready.

Develop your skills with our Doctor Leadership Program
Our two-year Doctor Leadership Program is built to empower practicing veterinarians with the business acumen, people skills, and mentorship tools they need to lead effectively.
You'll join a cohort of peers and be supported by expert faculty, including VP leaders and doctors who’ve built successful hospitals, who understand what it takes to lead in real-world practice.
Learn how to navigate financials, coach your team, develop your leadership style, and build a sustainable hospital culture, all while staying grounded in patient care.
Leadership that works for your life
We believe great leaders are balanced, fulfilled, and supported, not stretched thin as they try to juggle advancing their career while having a personal life. As a Medical Director with Veterinarian Partners, you’ll have the autonomy to shape your hospital and the support to keep thriving outside of work, too.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Clinical freedom to practice medicine your way
Work-life harmony with flexible scheduling and true wellness support
Dedicated support teams to handle HR, operations, marketing, and more
Transparent compensation models with competitive pay and leadership bonuses
Ownership and equity opportunities for those ready to take that step
Connection and collaboration with a strong network of peers and mentors
