This provides us a large network of DVMs and team members who work together to collaborate, share experiences, generate ideas and support one another whenever needed. We have a formal onboarding/training process as well as regular upskilling sessions, internal wet labs and 1:1 surgical training as needed (ex. large dog spays, dental wet labs). Our brand-new hospital will be fully equipped with anything you need to provide excellent medical care. Digital everything, full lab equipment, all monitoring and safety equipment, paperless record keeping, references and support materials. Plus, our hospital will be feline friendly, have a spacious footprint, 6 exam rooms, multiple surgical/procedures suites, separate cat and dog wards and lots of extra space that makes working just that little bit easier when you have room to move!
