ABOUT VEG
In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!
At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer-focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve.
This also means saying yes to creating the greatest experience possible for our VEGgies. Yes to working in an environment where you can find your place and feel valued for the amazing work you do. Yes to having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship so you can grow where you want to go in your career. And yes to making an impact here in ways you never thought possible.
VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.
THE JOB
Our Medical Directors (MDs) are not only exceptional emergency veterinarians and criticalists. They’re also visionary leaders, who take pride in guiding each hospital to medical excellence, the VEG Way. In a culture that places them on the frontlines of change, VEG MDs have true ownership over their careers and the autonomy to make impactful decisions that are right for their hospitals. They build and grow their hospitals and teams in alignment with VEG's core values, from triage through discharge. As servant leaders, they prioritize the needs of their people; lead with integrity, authenticity, and humility; and always find a way to say YES to our VEGgies. Passionate about mentorship and unwavering in their support for their teams, our MDs create an environment where openness, togetherness, heroic helping, and meaningful moments define every interaction and elevate the VEG experience.
