Are you interested in furthering your career and transitioning into a senior leadership position? Are you passionate about team-building and organizational culture? Are you interested in managing your own practice without investing your own capital? Are you seeking a position that allows you to train and mentor veterinary staff? Is your goal to eventually become a Regional Director for a renowned network of veterinary hospitals, own your own practice, or work a non-clinical role?

 

MVP is seeking an ambitious and team-oriented veterinarian (preferably at least 3-5 years out of school) with an interest in surgery and dentistry to lead Uptown Animal Hospital as its Medical Director. This is the perfect opportunity for a veterinarian who is passionate about surgery but also interested in either leading their own practice or transitioning into a non-clinical role with endless leadership opportunity.

 

In this role, the Medical Director will provide a variety of animal healthcare duties in the hospital, as well as management, mentorship, and career development for veterinarian staff. Moreover, this individual will ensure the regulatory compliance of the animal hospital as well as develop, approve, and maintain veterinary standards of care for all patients. The Medical Director is also responsible for ensuring an environment of positive teamwork within hospital staff. Active and productive collaboration between staff members is critical to the success of this position!

 

About our clinic: Uptown Animal Hospital is a full-service small animal general practice. Our hospital is well-established in the community and has been serving Cook County since the 1960s. Many of our employees (veterinarians, manager, and support staff) started here 20+ years ago and never left! Our doctors routinely review lab work, radiographs, and challenging cases and have rounds twice a day to ensure the best patient care possible. We are also lucky to be in an affluent neighborhood, so most of our clients are well-educated, able to do full work ups, and follow recommendations. 

 

Our hospital is fully equipped with an in-house lab, digital radiographs, digital dental radiographs, and surgery and dental suites. We are adequately staffed with technicians, so all our doctors are supported each day. If there is an area of veterinary medicine you are interested in, our team would gladly welcome any new services or equipment and would encourage any continuing education. You can learn more about our practice at uptownah.com.     

 

Schedule: Flexible (20 hours clinic / 10-20 hours managerial), 2-3 clinical days in association with hospital needs.

Location: 5545 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60640

 

About Andersonville: We are located in Andersonville, a neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago just north of Wrigleyville. Andersonville is an incredibly inclusive neighborhood and one of the best places to live in Illinois! It was initially a small village of Swedish immigrants and is still one of the most concentrated areas of Swedish culture in the US. The Swedish heritage is celebrated annually with events like St. Lucia Festival of Lights and Midsommarfest. Clark Street is filled with locally owned shops, restaurants from around the world, antique stores, and coffee shops. Treat yourself to mussels and one of 60+ beers on tap at Hopleaf, stop by the speakeasy, Simon's Tavern, for some seasonal glögg, spiced mulled wine, or grab some freshly baked pita bread, baklava, and a falafel sandwich at Middle East Bakery and Grocery. Furthermore, Andersonville is a very safe, friendly neighborhood with highly rated schools, great parks, and easy access to public transportation. Kathy Osterman and Foster Beach are both a mile away, offering easy access to Lake Michigan.
