Medical Director

Imagine leading a practice where your team saves wildlife before breakfast, performs complex surgeries by afternoon, and mentors the next generation of veterinarians before heading home to world-class wineries and hiking trails. This isn't just another leadership role—it's a chance to shape veterinary medicine in one of Virginia's most vibrant communities.

The Package:

• $150K-$200K base salary (experience-based)
• Up to $100K sign-on bonus
• Substantial retention and relocation support
• True PTO that doesn't penalize your production bonuses
• Leadership bonuses on top of competitive base pay

About Blue Ridge Veterinary Associates

For over three decades, we've been the veterinary heartbeat of Loudoun County. Our 30,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility isn't just impressive on paper—it's where ten veterinarians collaborate daily on cases that range from routine wellness to complex internal medicine.

What makes us different:

• Wildlife heroes: We're one of the few practices accepting all Good Samaritan wildlife for triage
• Diversity of cases: Household pets, small farm animals, exotics, and reptiles keep every day interesting
• Community deep-rooted: Strong partnerships with local rescue organizations
• Innovation-focused: Continuous facility upgrades including MRI, digital radiography, on-site blood bank, and Class IV laser therapy

Your Role: More Than Management

As Medical Director, you won't be buried in paperwork. You'll be a practicing veterinarian who happens to lead—someone who mentors new grads in the morning, performs surgery in the afternoon, and shapes the medical vision of the practice throughout.

You'll be responsible for:

• Setting the medical and surgical direction for a collaborative 10-doctor team
• Mentoring associates and fostering a culture where learning thrives
• Ensuring gold-standard care while managing the practical side of inventory and protocols
• Partnering with our Hospital Manager on recruiting top talent
• Supporting your team's "passion projects" and continuing education goals

We're looking for someone who:

• Leads by inspiration, not intimidation
• Balances clinical excellence with team development
• Genuinely enjoys client education and communication
• Wants to build something lasting in a community-focused practice

The Lifestyle Factor

Purcellville offers something rare: sophisticated small-town living with big-city access.

• 30 minutes to Dulles International Airport
• 20 minutes to Metro access into DC and Northern Virginia
• 60 minutes to Washington, D.C.
• Surrounded by wineries, breweries, hiking trails, and Blue Ridge Mountain views

This is where you can afford a home with land, enjoy farm-to-table restaurants in a renovated grain mill, and still catch a show at the Kennedy Center when the mood strikes. Your kids will love the roller rink and baseball fields; you'll love the work-life balance that actually exists here.

Ready to Lead?

If you're tired of corporate veterinary medicine that treats doctors like cogs, or you're ready to step up from associate to leader in a practice that values integrity and innovation equally, let's talk.
