VCA Sacramento Animal Medical Group has an opportunity available for an experienced, leadership-minded veterinarian to join our AAHA-accredited, 5-doctor, 24-hour advanced care practice in Carmichael, California.

VCA SAMG is a progressive practice delivering medical care to a healthy mix of wellness and complicated medical cases. Our caseload is growing and our current Medical Director is retiring. As Medical Director, you will have a unique opportunity to establish the direction and medical quality of the hospital like an owner would, but without the financial risks of ownership.  Individuals applying for this position should have strong interpersonal skills, a desire to teach, a love of clinical medicine and the personality to deal with a large and varied clientele. 

 We are hoping to find an experienced, compassionate veterinarian to help provide the best medical care to our valued four-legged patients. Our medical team—consisting of 5 doctors, 8 RVTs and 4 Vet Assistants, a dedicated Hospital Manager, and 8 well-trained, friendly Receptionists—is fully trained on the latest veterinary medicine and procedures, ensuring your clinic day runs smoothly and allowing you to provide the best medicine for your patients.

Our focus is on dogs and cats. We would ideally find someone with strong procedural and surgical skills, but are willing to train someone with a desire to learn.
