The Opportunity

As an Area Medical Director, you’ll oversee the medical leadership and clinical development of the Los Angeles Area. You’ll directly manage a team of Lead Doctors and partner closely with the Regional Medical Director and cross-functional leaders to uphold the highest standards of care.

Reporting to the Regional Medical Director, you’ll coach, develop, and inspire veterinary leaders while helping Modern Animal grow responsibly. This is a field-based role — expect to spend ~80% of your time in-clinic, supporting teams and practicing medicine as needed.

  • Participate in hiring, onboarding, and development of new doctors, including mentorship for new graduates or new leaders
  • Guide doctors on time management, case efficiency, and client communication
  • Lead performance management processes and support clinics through change and growth
  • Support a psychologically safe environment where doctors and teams can thrive

Clinical Operations & Growth

  • Collaborate with Regional and Support Teams to develop and implement programs that elevate patient care and client experience
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to implement new medical tools, systems, or workflows
  • Contribute to hiring strategy and workforce planning across your region
  • Monitor clinical performance metrics and use insights to coach and improve outcomes
  • Partner with field leaders to support clinic workflows, schedules, and DVM staffing needs
  • Assist with new clinic openings, including staffing, training, and establishing a culture of excellence from day one

  • Sign-on bonus
  • No non-compete agreements
  • Annual CE allowance and paid CE days
  • Generous paid time off, including sick leave, parental leave, and holidays

  • Access to Spring Health for behavioral and mental health support
  • Free Modern Animal membership for your own pets, plus discounts on services
  • A vibrant, supportive, blame-free culture made up of people committed to changing veterinary medicine for the better

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Graduate of an AVMA-accredited veterinary school or equivalent program, with eligibility to practice in the United States
  • Active license to practice veterinary medicine in California required at the start of employment

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.
