Founding Specialist

The Future of Veterinary Specialty Medicine Starts Here

Become a Founding Specialist. Build an Outpatient Practice. Own Your Future.

This is a nationwide search: we're recruiting board-certified veterinary specialists to become Founding Specialists and launch new outpatient practices in select markets across the country. Your specialty and preferred region will help shape where your practice is built.

Veterinary specialty medicine is changing. Pet owners are seeking greater access to specialty care. Referring veterinarians want stronger partnerships and faster access to specialists. And more specialists are looking for a model that allows them to practice exceptional medicine without sacrificing their personal lives.

We believe the future of specialty medicine is purpose-built outpatient specialty practices—collaborative, referral-focused hospitals that deliver world-class specialty care in a modern, efficient setting. Mission Pet Health is leading that transformation.

We're looking for entrepreneurial specialists who want to build the next generation of specialty hospitals while creating lasting equity, enjoying greater professional freedom, and practicing alongside a national network of exceptional colleagues.

Why Outpatient Specialty?

Outpatient specialty care is redefining how advanced veterinary medicine is delivered.

Purpose-built outpatient hospitals provide an outstanding experience for patients, clients, referring veterinarians, and clinical teams by focusing on scheduled specialty care in an efficient, collaborative environment. 

Without the demands of a 24-hour emergency hospital, specialists can spend more time doing what they love—practicing exceptional medicine, building relationships with referring veterinarians, and enjoying a healthier work-life balance.

Mission Pet Health is proud to be the industry leader in outpatient veterinary specialty medicine, partnering with specialists to expand access to advanced care while creating practices designed for long-term clinical and financial success.

This isn't simply another specialist position.

It's an opportunity to help shape the future of our profession.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

Build Equity Through Ownership

This isn't just another job. It's an opportunity to become an owner and build long-term wealth while creating a legacy in your community.

Be a Founding Specialist

Launch a new outpatient specialty practice built around your vision. Help shape everything from the culture and clinical standards to the patient experience and referral relationships.

Practice in the Future of Specialty Medicine

Join the nation's leading outpatient specialty platform and help redefine how advanced veterinary care is delivered.

Freedom from Call

Leave overnight emergencies behind. Our outpatient model is designed to minimize or eliminate routine on-call responsibilities, allowing you to focus on your patients while enjoying more time with your family and pursuing your passions outside of work.

A National Community of Specialists

While you'll lead your own practice locally, you'll never practice alone. Collaborate with an expanding network of board-certified specialists who share cases, mentor one another, exchange ideas, and continually raise the standard of specialty medicine.

World-Class Business Support

Spend your time practicing medicine—not managing payroll, HR, marketing, accounting, purchasing, IT, compliance, recruiting, or real estate. Our experienced support teams provide the infrastructure needed to help your practice thrive while preserving your clinical independence.

Lower Risk. Greater Opportunity.

Starting a specialty practice independently requires significant capital and years of operational planning. We provide the resources, expertise, and strategic support to help you launch successfully while dramatically reducing the traditional risks of ownership.

We're Looking For Specialists Who...

• Dream of building and leading their own specialty practice.
• Want to become owners—not just employees.
• Are passionate about clinical excellence and outstanding client service.
• Value collaboration over competition.
• Want to expand access to specialty care in their community.
• Aspire to leave a lasting legacy for their patients, clients, team members, and profession.

Build More Than a Career

• Build the hospital you've always imagined.
• Build meaningful equity.
• Build a team that shares your values.

If you've been waiting for the opportunity to own a specialty practice without taking on all the burden alone, we'd love to start the conversation.
