Job Description:
More than a career, it's a movement. Emancipet is the leading
non-profit veterinary care provider in the United States, on a
mission to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for
everyone. In 2024, we will celebrate our 25th year delivering
veterinary care to pets whose families cannot afford or access
market sector care, and we are looking forward to a huge milestone:
welcoming our 2 millionth patient visit. Now, we are seeking a Lead
Veterinarian to open our newest clinic, opening in Spring 2024.
This clinic, located in Austin, Texas, is the first of its kind in
the country: a non-profit, low-cost, high-cadence Dental and
Surgical Center. This clinic model is the dream of Emancipet and
our strategic partner, PetSmart Charities. It will be the tenth
brick & mortar clinic in Emancipet's network, and our fifth in the
Austin area. With 230,000 patient visits across all Emancipet
clinics each year, we have seen how many clients are forced to
delay or decline treatment of their pet's dental disease due to the
inability to access timely, affordable care: this clinic will
change that. Our surgical center will also provide affordable soft
tissue surgeries that are prevalent yet cost prohibitive for many
families (such as mass removals and cystotomies). The Lead
Veterinarian for the Emancipet Dental and Surgical Center has a
rare opportunity to lead a clinically and operationally innovative
team to practice dentistry and surgery in a brand new, beautiful
hospital while breaking new ground in the access to veterinary care
movement. The Lead Veterinarian is the clinician half of a
leadership dyad, partnered with a Branch Manager who serves as the
administrative half of the dyad. The position is full time at 5
days per week, with one of those days dedicated to leadership and
administrative tasks. This will include frequent collaboration with
the leadership of Emancipet, as this new clinic model evolves, and
we build the blueprint for accessible, affordable dental and
surgical care. Emancipet measures quality using the six domains of
quality medicine: Safety, Efficacy, Efficiency,
Patient-Centeredness, Equity, and Timeliness, and the Lead
Veterinarian will be responsible for the quality of medicine
practiced at the Dental & Surgical Center, as well as the comfort
of all patients. The Lead Veterinarian serves as the professional
and compassionate main point of contact for medical questions and
concerns for the clients and staff while providing support and
training and ensuring fidelity to our systems and standard
operating procedures. As a key strategic player in fulfilling the
short and long-term goals of Emancipet, the Lead Veterinarian will
proactively reach out to and develop professional, friendly, and
mutually beneficial relationships with area veterinarians,
promoting the clinics and our mission within the veterinary
community. Salary range: $130,000 - $150,000, dependent on
