Veterinary Career Pathways
Explore veterinary career pathways as we guide you through the tips on how to transition to emergency practice.
Making the Transition
Experienced veterinarians often look for more from their careers. We know, because our veterinarians were also there once too. Whether you’re looking to expand your horizons and own a practice, or even if you’re just looking for more job satisfaction, we’re a great move for you. The years you’ve spent finessing your people skills and clinical skills in general practice are invaluable in an emergency clinic.
Often we hear experienced veterinarians tell us they wish they could work in emergency, but are worried they don’t have the right skills to do so. That’s exactly why we’ve created our Step-by-Step Guide to Transition to Emergency, to highlight the skills, mindset, and preparation you need to successfully transition to a career as an emergency veterinarian.
Some of our steps include…
Finding Your Why
Spend time exploring why you want to transition to emergency. Finding a compelling reason will prepare for what’s to come when you’re on the hospital floor!
Okay to Ask for Help
Expecting to know and be prepared for everything is unrealistic. Teamwork and camaraderie are what allow us to help every patient. A problem shared is a problem halved!
Outside the Box
Resourcefulness is key to becoming a true emergency veterinary professional. Even with the best equipment, sometimes thinking outside the box is critical!
See for Yourself
Emergency is exciting and impactful! To see if it’s right for you, invest some time to see it for your own eyes. Want to find out what it’s really like? Reach out and our team will show you.
