Emergency Veterinarian - Ethos ER Immerse Mentorship Program
Mentorship-first approach
The program begins with a mentorship-first approach, where you are paired with a dedicated doctor who supports you through your clinical cases for the first 8–10 weeks. You will then be matched with a primary mentor who provides guidance both during and outside of clinical shifts throughout the year.
Exposure to specialties
Mentees rotate through each specialty service to gain well-rounded knowledge and build collaborative relationships. This exposure includes hands-on clinical training, didactic learning, and regular virtual rounds with other Ethos mentees.
Hands-on clinical training
You will manage real cases with direct supervision, supported by a collegial team committed to best patient outcomes. This training is complemented by VetBloom training modules to strengthen medical knowledge and decision-making.
Didactic learning
- Monthly virtual rounds with other Ethos mentees
- VetBloom training modules
Balanced scheduling
Doctors average 13 shifts per month, fewer than many emergency hospitals, allowing for both professional growth and work-life balance.

- Team players who value collaboration and communication
- Dedicated to excellent patient care and client service
- Eager to learn, grow, and contribute to a supportive team culture
