Animal Emergency & Referral Associates (AERA) is seeking veterinarians passionate about working in emergency medicine for our 6-month training and mentorship program. We are looking for individuals who are team oriented, driven, reflective, and reliable to train with us and transition into an ER position following mentorship.

Founded as an after-hours emergency clinic in 1977, AERA is now a 24/7 state-of-the-art hospital with a strong Emergency Service team and specialists in Anesthesiology, Dentistry, Internal Medicine, Radiation Oncology, Rehabilitation, and Surgery. Our hospital had outgrown its old location and has moved into a brand new, beautiful 45,000 square foot facility in December 2021, just down the road from our old location.

The Ethos ER Immerse Training Program

The ER Immerse Program will prepare veterinarians for a sustainable and satisfying career in emergency medicine. Built from the ground up to be different than traditional rotating internship programs, the ERi program has been developed around a curriculum of core competencies essential for an emergency veterinarian. In addition to providing training around clinical knowledge and skills, the program also includes a focus on client and team member communication, professional skills, and life/work integration.  

The ER Immerse program utilizes a hybrid training approach incorporating simulation-based didactic components into authentic training experiences with live patients. The curriculum is designed using an evidence-based strategy identifying competencies and skills deemed essential for a successful career as an emergency clinician.
