Role Overview
The Clinical Director (CD) at Insight Veterinary Wellness Center (IVWC) is a senior clinical leadership role responsible for guiding medical quality, clinical decision-making, and DVM development within a 24/7 General Practice and Emergency hospital.

The Clinical Director serves as the hospital’s clinical leader, mentor, and coach, partnering closely with the Hospital Administrator (HA) and regional medical and operational leadership to support patient safety, team development, and sustainable clinical performance—while remaining actively engaged in clinical practice.
