RISE DVM​/VMD Mentorship Program

RISE Mentorship Program

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.

• 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.
