Medical Director

Channel Islands Veterinary Hospital, located in Port Hueneme, CA  is in search of a Medical Director - Generous bonuses + Joint Ownership Potential!

Are you looking for a work-life balance that allows you to explore California’s stunning coastline? Do you love discussing cases with your fellow veterinarians and encouraging staff members to learn and grow, helping the group to be their best?  Are you looking to advance your career and step into a management role with some mentoring and coaching and a gentle transition?  If so, Channel Islands Veterinary Hospital wants to meet you!

This Medical Director position is unique in that the veterinarian would still be able to manage their own medical caseload & would partner with a Hospital Manager to run the team and manage the site. For the right candidate there is also a joint venture opportunity with future buy-in potential.

• Engage the staff and help them to feel great about a job well done
• Extend grace when the day is crazy and everyone is a little stressed
