Job description

VCA South Hadley Animal Hospital in South Hadley, MA is seeking a Medical Director to lead our small animal/companion animal practice. This role combines clinical practice with medical leadership, and does not include on-call hours.
As Medical Director, you'll guide medical quality, mentor associate doctors, and help shape the practice's culture and clinical standards. Our caseload is primarily cats and dogs, with regular rabbit and pocket pet visits - comfort or interest in exotic small animal medicine is a plus, and it's a longstanding strength of this hospital.
The business side of running a hospital is already handled here - payroll, scheduling, marketing, and operations all have dedicated people in place - so your time and energy stay where you want them: practicing medicine and teaching it.
Hours: Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, Saturday 8am-4pm, closed Sundays.
We've served the South Hadley, Chicopee, Holyoke, and Granby communities for more than 20 years, with a collaborative, supportive team culture built around high-quality, compassionate care.
What the hospital offers:
  • Full digital radiography, including dental radiographs
  • A user-friendly EMR
  • A strong, experienced support team
  • Access to specialists and VCA's professional development and MD leadership resources

South Hadley offers easy access to hiking along the Holyoke Mountain Range, a year-round music and arts scene, and strong schools, with more culture and cuisine a short drive away through the Pioneer Valley and up toward Brattleboro, VT and southwestern NH.
Total Rewards
As a member of the VCA family, eligible full-time employees will be rewarded with a comprehensive package, including:
Compensation
  • Salary is negotiable based on experience, skills, knowledge, abilities and other relevant credentials. Salary Range: $140,000 - 160,000. Salary range listed is based on a 40 hour work week.
  • This position may also be eligible for other variable pay programs.

Health & Well-being
  • Innovative Associate health and well-being department (Headspace app subscriptions, Fidelity financial wellness tool, and access to additional mental health resources)
  • 401k retirement savings plan with company match
  • Health/dental/vision insurance, infertility benefits, gender affirmation services
  • Paid parental, vacation and sick leave

Professional Development
  • Continuing Education Allowance and paid Continuing Education Days
  • WOOF University - offering abundant CE for Doctors and the care team
  • Opportunities to participate in a robust Clinical Studies program

Discover Additional Benefits Benefits | VCA (vcacareers.com) (open link in new window)
Qualifications
  • A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, from an accredited university or equivalent
  • Licensure in good standing to practice in (state), or the ability to obtain
  • A commitment to practicing the highest standard of medicine and upholding the veterinary code of ethics
