The posting

Medical Director – Mt. Scott Animal Clinic

Mt. Scott Animal Clinic in Portland, Oregon is seeking a Veterinary Medical Director to lead our doctors and guide the clinical direction of a respected, AAHA-accredited Fear Free practice. Our current Medical Director, Dr. Mariah Kimball, has been promoted into our Oregon Regional Medical Director so you will be supported by a DVM that has called Mt. Scott her home for the past 8 years.

Mt. Scott Animal Clinic has been proudly serving the Portland community for over 50 years. We're known for delivering exceptional care with compassion, respect, and integrity. We also don't take ourselves too seriously. A good sense of humor isn't just welcome here; it's practically a job requirement!

What Makes Us Different:

  • Real Work-Life Balance: Our doctors leave on time, every day. We build scheduled blocks into the day for catching up on records and cases, so work doesn't follow you home.

  • Giving Back Together: We're active volunteers with organizations like the Street Dog Coalition, and we're proud to support World Vets globally, because caring for animals doesn't stop at our doors.
  • Fear Free Certified Team: Our entire staff is Fear Free Certified, so low-stress, compassionate handling is how we approach every appointment.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
