RISE DVM / VMD Mentorship Program - Multiple Locations

Job Description

At PetVet Care Centers, our mission is to improve the lives of animals and people — providing exceptional and compassionate care at every stage — for all the moments that matter.

Because life is better with pets.

We deliver the Ultimate Care Experience — every pet, every client, every time. That starts with a Culture of Care that supports our team members as much as the pets and clients we serve.

With more than 420 locally led hospitals and over 11,000 team members nationwide, we offer:

Local autonomy with national support

Career mobility and development opportunities

A collaborative, inclusive environment where your wellbeing comes first

You care for pets. We care for you.

The RISE Mentorship Program is a year-long immersive experience designed to support new veterinary graduates as they transition from an academic setting and into the "real world" of clinical practice. RISE Centers pair new graduate veterinarians with experienced mentors to provide hands-on learning, real-time case management, and professional development. Participants also join a nationwide cohort of peers, building a supportive network that lasts well beyond the program.

Who is this program for?

New veterinary graduates who are eager to practice high-quality medicine and grow their clinical skills in a supportive, real-world setting.

Candidates interested in working in General Practice (GP), Emergency (ER), or Mixed Animal Practices, depending on location availability.

What does this program offer?

Full-Time employment in a RISE Center with hands-on mentorship, while slowly transitioning to independently managing a caseload.

Dual Mentorship Model: On-site support from a "home hospital" mentor and centralized guidance from the national mentorship team.

Competitive Compensation: Salary tailored to the specific hospital and region's budget.

Comprehensive Benefits Package includes:

New graduate veterinarians can receive up to $50,000 in total signing bonuses, including up to $35,000 through our new grad sign-on program

Full-time team member benefits

Relocation assistance available

CE reimbursement allowance and paid PTO days for CE events

Where will this take place?

Nationwide! We have hospitals across the country to meet your geographical preferences.

When does this program start?

We have flexibility for you to start when it works best for you!
