Regional Medical Director | Veterinary Urgent Care

Job Summary:

• The Regional Medical Director (RMD) serves as a key clinical and business leadership partner
• across their region, supervising the region’s Lead Veterinarians and working closely with
• Hospital Directors and executive leadership to drive growth, uphold medical excellence, and
• reinforce Scout’s culture and values across all locations. Scout does not yet have Lead
• Veterinarians in place at every location; until a given location has one, the RMD directly
• supervises that location’s staff veterinarians, layering in the Lead Veterinarian as the
• supervising authority once that role is filled there. This role ensures consistent, high-quality
• patient care, supports doctor development, strengthens referral partnerships, and serves as the
• primary point of contact for regional business operations.

• As Scout continues to grow, dedicated regional operations support may be added alongside this
• role. Today, the RMD partners directly with executive leadership on business matters, and the
• scope of this partnership will be reassessed as the organization scales.

Core Duties & Responsibilities:
