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 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 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, gradually 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.

• Full‑time employee benefits
• Competitive sign‑on bonus
• Relocation assistance available
• Training assistance bonus
• 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.

• White Sburg Animal Hospital is a full‑service veterinary hospital that offers comprehensive veterinary services for pets in Huntsville, including wellness care, advanced diagnostics, routine surgery and dentals, daytime emergency, and exotic pet care.
• Competitive base salary + production for strong earning potential.
• Training assistance bonus to help cover expenses before graduation.
• Generous signing bonus and relocation assistance.

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 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 pathways.
