* Overseeing the clinical operations of the practice, ensuring high-quality medical care.
* Leading and managing a team of veterinarians and other staff members.
* Developing and implementing protocols for patient care, treatment, and procedures.
* Ensuring compliance with regulations and industry standards.
* Developing and implementing strategic plans for the practice's growth and development.

The specific duties of a VMD can vary depending on the size and type of the veterinary practice or organization.
It's important to note that "VMD" can also be used as an abbreviation for Veterinary Medicine Doctor, but this is less common in everyday practice.
