Regional Medical Director - Colorado

Regional Medical Director Opportunity

Our organization is in search of a Regional Medical Director (RMD) to provide support to our veterinary hospitals located in Colorado, specifically in areas such as the southern Denver metro region, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs, Eagle, Basalt, Glenwood Springs, and Grand Junction.

This position is ideal for a veterinarian who is passionate about mentoring fellow doctors, enhancing hospital teams, and fostering practice growth while ensuring high standards of medical care.

Role Overview

As the Regional Medical Director, you will act as a clinical partner to our veterinarians and hospitals, offering support to local teams while collaborating with a Regional Operations Director to synchronize medical leadership with the success of our hospitals. This role combines mentorship, teamwork, and strategic leadership to ensure that veterinarians feel supported, hospitals are well-equipped, and patients receive outstanding care.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and Develop Veterinarians: Collaborate with DVMs throughout the region to facilitate their professional development via mentorship, coaching, and planning. Conduct evaluations and enhance their medical, surgical, and communication skills.
• Strengthen Hospital Collaboration: Engage regularly with hospital teams to exchange best practices, enhance workflow, and ensure that veterinarians have the necessary clinical resources to serve their communities effectively.
• Recruit and Develop Veterinary Talent: Assist in attracting and onboarding skilled veterinarians to the region. Support the mentorship and integration of new doctors to promote long-term success and engagement.
• Partner for Hospital Success: Collaborate closely with your Regional Operations Director to assist hospital leaders with scheduling, equipment investments, and aligning medical initiatives with hospital growth.
• Support Growth in Colorado: Aid hospitals in expanding services, enhancing medical capabilities, and fostering thoughtful regional growth while upholding high-quality medical standards.
• Build the Future Veterinary Workforce: Promote externship and internship programs and represent our organization within the veterinary community to help cultivate our future talent pipeline.

Success Metrics for the First Year

• First 90 Days: Establish relationships with veterinarians and hospital teams while assessing the strengths and opportunities of each facility in the region.
• 3–6 Months: Initiate regular collaboration and mentorship with doctors, provide clinical resources to hospital teams, and assist in recruiting and onboarding veterinarians.
• 6–12 Months: Enhance collaboration among hospitals, support service expansion where suitable, and help nurture emerging medical leaders in the region.

Why This Role Stands Out

In our organization, Regional Medical Directors prioritize supporting hospitals rather than overseeing them from afar. We believe that exceptional veterinary care is achieved when doctors feel trusted, connected, and supported. Our RMDs emphasize:

• Mentorship over management
• Partnership with local hospitals
• Collaboration among veterinary teams
• Balancing medical quality with sustainable growth

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the veterinary culture in a region, supporting excellent hospitals and assisting veterinarians in building rewarding, long-term careers.

Qualifications

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from an accredited institution.
• Current state licensure in good standing.
• Experience managing multi-site veterinary hospitals is essential.
• Previous ownership of a hospital or experience as a Lead Veterinarian is highly preferred.
• Outstanding interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, with the ability to present key information succinctly.
• Strong organizational abilities and meticulous attention to detail.

Support and Benefits

As a member of our leadership team, you will benefit from the extensive resources of a larger network, allowing you to focus on empowering your teams and enhancing medical excellence.

• Executive Compensation: A competitive salary along with annual bonus incentives based on regional performance.
• Comprehensive Wellbeing: Executive-level coverage including health, dental, vision, critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident, and life insurance.
• Financial Health: A robust 401k plan with a generous company match, plus long and short-term disability insurance.
• Commitment to Growth: Access to dedicated continuing education resources (30-40 hours annually) and our Clinical Tracks Program to remain at the forefront of veterinary medicine.
• The Power of a Network: Join a nationwide community of over 20,000 veterinary professionals and collaborate with industry leaders to drive innovation.
• Peace of Mind: Enjoy company-paid professional liability coverage and free 24/7 access to doctors through telehealth services.
