Your True PTO vs No Negative Accrual: A Game-Changer for DVMs
Taking time off shouldn't come with a side of anxiety. That's where our True PTO makes all the difference. Forget about the old stress of negative accrual and having to catch up. With True PTO, your base pay is protected - no ifs, ands, or buts. The true benefit? Our veterinarians consistently pocket more cash than they typically would have if they did not have negative accrual. It's not just about avoiding financial penalties for taking a break; it's about genuinely benefiting from it.
Lead DVM Foundations
In your career, you learn how to practice great veterinary medicine. But, you don't always get opportunities to formally learn different aspects of leadership. SVP's Lead Doctor Foundations program is designed to fill this gap by investing in the growth of current and emerging leaders.
Doctor Mentorship Program
Not 1, not 3, but 12 months of mentorship for first year doctors! To help transition from school to clinic life, both a coach and mentor help new doctors develop their clinical and non-clinical soft skills. Build skills. Build confidence. Build relationships.
