Familiarity with practice management software, regulatory compliance systems, and continuing education certifications are typically required. Outstanding communication, decision-making, and team-building skills help foster a positive workplace and ensure high standards of care.

Veterinary Directors often encounter challenges such as balancing administrative duties with clinical oversight, managing diverse teams of veterinarians and support staff, and ensuring consistent adherence to medical protocols. Effective communication, clear delegation of responsibilities, and ongoing professional development are key strategies for overcoming these obstacles. By fostering a collaborative environment and staying updated on best practices, Veterinary Directors can guide their teams to deliver high-quality care while maintaining operational efficiency.

Job description

Galena Veterinary Hospital in Reno, NV is seeking a full-time Veterinarian to join our team!

  • No Non-Compete
  • Privately Owned
  • Multi-Doctor Hospital

Our hospital is a locally owned three doctor practice, with AVMA accredited nurses, trained veterinary assistants, and client care specialists. We are looking to continue to grow our business with a veterinarian that is willing to cultivate relationships with clients and fellow employees and is interested in surgery or furthering an interest in surgery. We have a team that works well together and enjoys collaboration as well as mentoring each other.

About the practice: Our practice values individual growth through specialized, intensive CE courses, investment in the proper equipment to support that interest, and encouraging support from the practice ownership. Galena Veterinary Hospital (GVH) has existed since January 1999, and was started by Dr. Julie Soule. She saw a growing need in South Reno for quality veterinary services. South Reno was starting to blossom with new developments and needs. It was placed in what is now considered the Double Diamond Development, and at the time South Reno was known more as Galena, and thus, the name Galena Veterinary Hospital. For the next two and a half years she slowly grew the hospital’s clientele with the help of Dr. Christine Feleciano. In 2001, Dr. Soule and Feleciano were both called to Oregon for family moves. Dr. Michael Ford and Wendi Ford, LVT joined the team in July 2001, first as the managing veterinarian and hospital director and then in December 2003 as owners.
