The Veritas ER Veterinary (VERVe) training program has been designed to provide new or recent veterinary graduates with superlative mentorship and training to prepare for a successful career in emergency medicine.

Successful applicants to the program will be exposed to a well-rounded curriculum of strong clinical mentorship under senior Emergency and Critical Care clinicians on the floor and a well-developed continuing education curriculum including an ER procedural lab off-site at the Oquendo Center in Las Vegas and weekly structured didactic training.

VERVe training will entail a minimum of 4-month training period of focused mentorship and case oversight and gradually progress to complete autonomy on the ER floor. A 2-year commitment (including training period) to a Veritas partner practice will be required of all candidates upon signing.
