New ER Doctor (NERD) Program: Starts April 2026, Practicing Veterinarians - Tampa, FL
ABOUT VEG: In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies! At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer-focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve. THE PROGRAM : The VEG New ER Doctor (NERD) program is designed to transform practicing non-emergency veterinarians into exceptional, confident VEG ER doctors. This six-month deep dive into the action of emergency is a structured, immersive program like no other that allows participants to transition into full-time ER doctors at VEG after successful completion. WHAT YOU'LL DO: It's a mentorship program, not an internship! Too often, mentorship is promised but not delivered. When you're part of the NERD program, you never go it alone in the ER and are supported through guidance and 1:1 feedback from experienced VEG doctors. New ER Doctors (a.k.a. NERDS!) get up-close, firsthand ER experience, collaborating with and learning from top emergency doctors and specialists during 3-4 hospital shifts per week (days, swings, and nights), as well as through weekly case discussions, literature reviews, and hands-on training at state-of-the-art facilities. From hands-on training to weekly didactic learning, NERD program participants earn over 160 RACE-approved CE hours in just six months—which takes most doctors 10 years to complete! Some CE highlights include: Abdominal, thoracic and cardiac point-of care ultrasound Exotic companion animals in the ER Flexible GI endoscopy Small animal emergency surgery Small animal critical care lab RECOVER ALS and BLS Rescuer CPR certification WHAT YOU NEED : A passion for helping others A valid DVM, VMD, or equivalent degree Be a practicing veterinarian for 1+ years A desire to live and breathe emergency medicine A valid license to practice veterinary medicine, as well as a valid DEA registration in the state you will be completing your program by your start date Ability to stand for prolonged hours, kneel, and work on the floor, as well as ability to lift up to 25 kg on own and able to support up to 40 kg with assistance. Must be willing to work in a noisy environment with strong or unpleasant odors. Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating or as needed basis based on hospital demands.

Ability to commit to a predetermined schedule for a consecutive six-month period HOW WE INVEST IN YOU : Competitive compensation + benefits 160+ hours of RACE-approved CE during your six-month program and a BIG focus on learning and growth Equity ownership, so you can share in our growth and success No non-competes: Everyone should be free to choose where they work Student Loan Repayment (after your 1st year with VEG) Free exams and 50% off VEG Treatments Pet Bereavement Leave Clinical student loan repayment so you don't need to worry about your student debt Paid parental leave, up to 10 weeks at 100% of regular salary Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work Generous referral reward program, so our awesome people can bring in more awesome people DEI : At VEG, diversity is not just a word—it's a strength that fuels innovation and compassion.
