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.

High Producers Bonus
Eligible DVMs will earn a bonus payout of up to 10% additional production in the month after contract renewal. The bonus rate will be determined by their contracted production rate and the amount of excess production. Here, you can earn a greater share of the success you help create. And the sky is the limit

Lead DVM FoundationsIn 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 ProgramNot 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.

Clinical Tracks Program

Committed to helping teammates grow, we proudly offer in-depth, RACE-approved CE credit facilitated by veterinary specialists to grow teammate clinical skills and enhance the care of our patients. Courses offered: Dentistry, Oncology, Internal Medicine, Dermatology, and Cardiology.
