Job Description
Cascade Animal Clinic in Monroe WA, is in search of a Veterinarian/Medical Director: Sign On Bonus $75,000; Joint Ownership Potential
Are you looking for a work-life balance that allows you to explore the great Pacific Northwest, knowing that your patients are well cared for when you are not at work?

Are you looking to advance your career and step into a management role with some mentoring and coaching and a gentle transition? If so, Cascade Animal Clinic wants to meet you!

- Know that you cannot always do it alone
- Engage the staff and help them to feel great about a job well done
- Extend grace when the day is crazy and everyone is a little stressed

This position:

- Has the potential for good earnings – our doctors average $120,000 per year with 22% production pay, management earns more
