IndeVets Mentorship Program

Overview

Start your veterinary career as an Associate IndeVet: a first job so awesome, you won’t need a second. 

We took what makes associate work stable and combined it with what makes relief work flexible to create IndeVets. That means you’ll get proper pay for all the hours you work, full benefits, and total control over your schedule — backed by a community of like-minded vets who get it and want to help you thrive in your career.

The IndeVets GP Rotating Mentorship Program is a comprehensive, paid mentorship program designed specifically for new and recent grads. This program is designed to help you step into a full-time vet med career more confidently, and with more hands-on support. If you’re a practicing vet looking to make a career transition into small animal general practice, this program is built for you, too.

When you join us as a fully paid IndeVet you get:

• Six months of practical experience in clinical settings, all with your mentor by your side for real-time guidance.
• More experience in more settings. Get access to the full spectrum of care – corporate, private, shelters and specialties.
• Weekly check-ins with your Director of Clinical Excellence, who will coach you, offer advice on reaching your goals, and just be there to listen if you ever want to vent (we’ve been there, too).
• Access to our IndeVets GP Clinical Certification course takes the vast knowledge you gained in vet school to the next level.
• Hands-on labs covering ultrasound, surgery, and dentistry
• Fear-Free and BlendVet (DEIB) Certification
• Communication and conflict management training
• A wealth of mental health and wellness resources, including access to our veterinary social worker for 1:1 support
• Me-time Money stipend to use for anything that helps your mental or physical health
• 24/x7 access to our private clinical channel on our IndeVets App. Think of it like a group chat with a few hundred of the smartest crew from vet school.
• Our Veterinary Social worker partners with you, your clinical leadership team, and the rest of IndeVets to give support in those times where we question why we ever wanted to do this in the first place.
