Specialty Medical Director

Do you enjoy clinical practice as well as practice management?  At VCA Arboretum View Animal Hospital you can get the best of both worlds! Our specialty practice is seeking a Medical Director that would split their duties, spending approximately 20-25% in administration, and the remainder seeing clients and patients. 

We are a fast paced, AAHA accredited, 24-hour emergency, specialty, and general practice located in the affluent area of Downers Grove just outside Chicago. Our hospital currently offers specialty medicine in the areas of internal medicine, surgery, critical care, neurology and dermatology. We recently completed a remodel, which includes an interventional radiology suite in addition to all the equipment one would expect in a specialty hospital including a 16-slice CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, lithotripsy, and nuclear scintigraphy.

Only 20 miles west of Chicago, Downers Grove is at the crossroads of the western suburbs, is close to O’Hare International Airport, and has three stops on the Metra commuter rail. Designated a Tree City USA, attractions include two forest preserves and several parks that give residents places to enjoy the outdoors. Downers Grove offers a high quality of life with excellent schools, beautiful parks, and a variety of restaurants and retail shops.  With all the added attractions of Chicago, our city is a great place to call home.

This is an outstanding opportunity to continue practicing medicine while establishing the direction and medical quality of the hospital like an owner would, but without the risks of ownership. Plus, you'll have the solid backing of experts in Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Payroll, and more, to help you succeed.
