RISE DVM​/VMD Mentorship Program

Join to apply for the RISE DVM / VMD Mentorship Program role at Pet Vet Care Centers

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.

The RISE Mentorship Program offers hands-on mentorship while gradually transitioning to independently managing a caseload, with a dual mentorship model and a pathway to long-term growth within Pet Vet Care Centers.

• 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.
