Imagine you’re being invited to join a team of trailblazers shaping the future of veterinary care. Picture a dynamic, fast-growing organization where innovation and compassion are at the core of everything we do. That’s Truss Vet.

In just a few short years, we’ve gone from an idea to a thriving veterinary urgent care platform, and we’re not stopping anytime soon. With three successful clinics and a fourth on the horizon, we’re redefining how pets and their people experience care. With our Wilmington location set to launch in the summer of 2025, this is your chance to grow with us and be part of something transformative.

At Truss Vet, we’re on a mission to elevate the human-animal bond by removing barriers to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. Our urgent care clinics are tailored to pets with non-life-threatening issues that don’t belong in the ER but can’t wait for a regular vet visit. Think of us as the sweet spot between general practice and emergency care—a place where we deliver exceptional medical outcomes while ensuring a better quality of life for our team.

Here’s where you come in: as a veterinarian at Truss Vet, you’re more than a doctor. You’re a clinical and cultural leader who sets the tone for patient care, client experience, and team well-being. You’ll:

Practice the highest standards of medicine while embracing a growth mindset.
Foster a collaborative, fun, work-hard/play-hard team environment.
Exceed client expectations with empathy, professionalism, and a touch of humanity.
Help shape the culture and care standards of a clinic that’s quickly becoming a standout in the industry.

As Medical Director, you are THE clinical leader in your clinic. The associate veterinarians turn to you for leadership, mentorship, and medical guidance, and you work hand-in-hand with your partner practice manager to ensure the clinic functions smoothly so our doctors are happy, supported, and inspired to deliver the highest standard of care. Your job is to help define the benchmark for care in one of the best clinics and best places to work on the planet. No pressure :)

We’re a young organization, which means there’s tons of room to innovate, build, and leave your mark. Whether you’re looking for the thrill of startup energy or the stability of a growing organization, Truss Vet offers both. You’ll be joining a team that’s passionate, supportive, and determined to make a difference—for pets, their people, and each other.

So, what do you think? Are you ready to be part of the next chapter of Truss Vet’s journey?

A little bit about our clinic:

For too long, veterinary hospitals have been off the beaten path, sequestered to old strip centers, or simply too hard to find. Pets have become family members so why shouldn't veterinary clinics be located where family members shop, work, and dine? And why shouldn't veterinary teams get to work in beautiful, safe, and vibrant locations?

We’re outfitting our facility with brand new, industry-leading equipment (Idexx CBC/chemistry, automated fecal/UA, digital cytology, coags, and on-site enzyme analysis), Idexx digital radiography, ultrasound, fully cloud-based and mobile technology solutions, and a modern aesthetic reflective of today’s best healthcare environments. We even have a dedicated in-house, board-certified veterinary radiologist to provide outpatient ultrasounds and review all of our radiology studies!

Our clinics abide by Fear-Free guidelines and include a command center, dedicated feline exam room, comfort room, respite/breastfeeding room, staff break room, radiology suite, and a spacious treatment area.

Compensation & Benefits:

Competitive salary, no negative accrual
Health/vision/dental insurance
Short- and long-term disability coverage, life insurance
3 weeks PTO plus 5 holidays off for full-time doctors
A generous CE stipend with guaranteed coverage for 1 major conference per year
Parental leave
401K + match
Payment of all professional dues/licenses/association memberships/VIN/PLIT
Commitment to professional and personal development through mentorship
Pet care discounts and uniform allowance
No boarding, grooming, emergencies, or on-call!

Our Values:

Compassion: We treat every pet like it’s our own, every client like they’re our friend, and every team member like we would want to be treated.
Accountability: Our team is the engine that changes lives; we are driven by a desire to succeed and hold each other accountable to that success.
Conscientiousness: Our standards are reflected in every choice we make, and even the smallest actions may profoundly impact others; the details matter!

Openheartedness: Directness, honesty, and empathy in communication; we care enough to have tough conversations, and we handle tough conversations with care.
Positivity: We’re endlessly optimistic, we encourage collaboration, we empower and elevate each other, and we have fun doing it!
