Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Small Animal Medical Director to join an established companion animal hospital in the Hamilton, New York area. This permanent leadership opportunity is ideal for a veterinarian who wants to combine hands-on clinical medicine with mentorship, team development, and responsibility for maintaining consistently high standards of patient care. The role offers broad clinical exposure across general practice, surgery, and emergency and critical care. You will remain actively involved in case management while helping guide clinical decision-making, strengthen medical protocols, and support the continued development of veterinary services within the hospital. As Medical Director, you will work closely with associate veterinarians and support professionals, providing clinical guidance, mentoring colleagues, and contributing to a positive and collaborative hospital culture. The position is well suited to a confident clinician who enjoys balancing their own caseload with wider leadership and team-development responsibilities. This position is ideal for an experienced veterinarian seeking strong earning potential, a permanent senior clinical role, varied medical and surgical exposure, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both patient care and the continued development of the veterinary team.
