“I think recent graduates should get involved with the GVMA because of the support offered to new veterinarians exploring a variety of different career paths."
For the lessons that can't be learned in the classroom
As a member, you get direct access to information and resources to help you remain compliant in your practice. Unsure how to navigate a contract? New to license renewal? Whether you're at your desk, in an exam room, or out in a paddock, you can get the answers you need, when you need them.
The transition from student to practitioner can be challenging, and that's where we come in. We're dedicated to understanding the unique needs of early-career practitioners and delivering continuing education that gives you the skills to be the best veterinarian you can be.
Thanks to our generous partners, we are able to offer our Spectrum of C.A.R.E. Program to Create Accessible Resources and Expertise in canine care. This program is built to equip our recent grads with the skills and confidence to navigate the nuances of real-life medicine ahead of their time.
Getting a medical degree requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and well... money. Tailored resources like our MentorVet scholarships and a graduated dues structure provide the support you need as you transition into practice.
