We are looking for a kind, confident, and motivated Medical Director to join a thriving small animal hospital in Morris, IL.
This well-respected, AAHA-accredited practice has been part of the community for decades and is known for its progressive medicine, strong mentorship, and truly supportive culture. You’ll step into a hospital where people enjoy coming to work, where clients trust their care team, and where collaboration and respect are expected. With a 3:1 tech-to-doctor ratio and a high-functioning team behind you, you’ll be well-equipped to lead both in and out of the exam room.
Inside the hospital, you’ll find a comprehensive setup designed to support complex and routine care. From digital radiography and an IDEXX in-house lab to ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and laser therapy, everything is in place to help you practice at your very best. A dedicated surgical suite supports a wide range of procedures, including soft tissue, orthopedic, and laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy.
As Medical Director, you’ll help shape the future of the practice—leading with empathy, supporting your team’s growth, and setting the tone for clinical excellence. Whether you’re passionate about surgery, diagnostics, mentorship, or improving workflows, there’s room for your ideas and plenty of support to help you bring them to life!
