What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Dermatologist position at NVA?
Description & Requirements
Veterinary Dermatologist
Virginia Veterinary Centers – Midlothian, VA
Virginia Veterinary Centers is launching Dermatology services in Midlothian, and we’re seeking a residency-trained or board-certified Veterinary Dermatologist to lead and grow this service from the ground up.
This is a rare opportunity to establish your own specialty service within a supportive hospital environment. You’ll have the autonomy to shape clinical protocols, build referral relationships, and define the service in a way that reflects your expertise — all while benefiting from the backing of a respected Internal Medicine team and the resources of our Short Pump location, just 20 minutes away.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Build Something Meaningful
Step in as the founder of Midlothian’s Dermatology service. You’ll design workflows, implement protocols, and establish a service that will leave a lasting mark on the hospital and local referral community.
Autonomy with Support
Enjoy independence in creating the service while collaborating with Internal Medicine specialists and hospital leadership. You’ll have access to mentorship, resources, and a growing referral base.
Equipped for Success
Our hospital is ready with advanced dermatology technology, including VetScapel, Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy, and a dedicated otoscopy unit — so you can launch confidently from day one.
Collaborative Culture
While you lead the Dermatology service, you’ll be part of a hospital culture that values communication, teamwork, and high-quality medicine.
Why Midlothian?
Located just 20 minutes southwest of Richmond, Midlothian is one of the region’s most desirable and rapidly growing suburbs. Known for its top-rated schools, welcoming community, and strong professional population, it offers an exceptional quality of life for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
The area blends historic charm with modern suburban living. Residents enjoy outdoor recreation at Midlothian Mines Park, waterfront views at Swift Creek Reservoir, and river access at Robious Landing Park along the James River.
Upscale neighborhoods such as Hallsley and Woodlake offer beautiful homes within thoughtfully planned communities. With abundant shopping, dining, and easy access to Route 288, commuting to downtown Richmond is seamless.
Midlothian offers the rare balance of professional opportunity and relaxed, community-focused living — making it an ideal place to build both a service and a life.
