RISE DVM​/VMD Mentorship Program

At Pet Vet 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• New graduate veterinarians can receive up to $35,000 in total signing bonuses
• All offers include quarterly no negative accrual for new graduates
• Full‑time team member benefits
• Relocation assistance available
• CE reimbursement allowance and paid PTO days for CE events

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

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

Our RISE program is designed to help early‑career professionals take the first step in their veterinary journey—with opportunities to build hands‑on experience, deepen their knowledge, and be part of a team that truly cares. Participants also gain exposure to our growing continuing education (CE) program, supporting long‑term growth and development across clinical and leadership pathway
