“beyond a Career” reflects our belief that veterinary medicine is more than a profession. It’s a calling to care deeply, to grow continuously, to innovate constantly, and to make an impact that lasts.

 

We go beyond the job description to create meaningful experiences for our people. We nurture mentorship that fuels confidence, develop leadership programs that inspire growth, and benefits that support every stage of life, in and out of the clinic.

 

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about what you do. It’s about who you become, and the difference you make beyond a career.
 
 

beyond Learning reflects our belief that growth in veterinary medicine should never stop, it should evolve. Pursuing growth is not just one of our core values, it’s a way of life here at AVG!

For veterinary students, learning starts with connection. Through immersive externships, structured mentorship and exposure to real-world medicine across our network, we bridge the gap between the classroom and the clinic. Students gain not only hands-on experience, but also relationships that turn curiosity into capability, and confidence into career direction.

For veterinary professionals, our LevelUp Learning and Capstone Programs provide curated pathways for continued growth. We proudly invest in our Technicians and CSRs by paying for their education. Beyond that, we fund degree programs for Technicians and reimburse those who’ve already earned them. These programs empower every veterinary professional to grow beyond their current role, building confidence, strengthening skills, and advancing their career. It’s about momentum, mastery, and meaning at every stage of your journey.

beyond Leadership reflects our belief that true leadership isn’t defined by titles. It’s built through unwavering integrity, trust, growth, and the willingness to lift others up.

At American Veterinary Group and UrgentVet, we grow leaders from within. Through our Leadership Development Programs and our annual Leadership Summit, we create spaces where learning, collaboration, and innovation thrive. From veterinary professionals getting accepted into vet school to new managers stepping into their first leadership role to seasoned DVMs mentoring the next generation, we believe that ‘next steps’ should feel personal, attainable, and inspired.

We celebrate leaders who lead with empathy, communicate transparently, who make every teammate feel valued and every patient interaction meaningful. Our internal promotions, Best in Class program, and development workshops ensure that those who want to grow have every opportunity to do so — backed by mentorship, resources, and a supportive community that believes in their potential.

beyond Benefits reflects our belief that the people who care for others deserve the same care in return.

Our comprehensive benefits are designed for every stage of life – paid time off, paid parental leave, and a substantial pet care discount are all designed to help you recharge, grow, and enjoy the life you’re building inside and outside the clinic. 

Through additional programs like VetForward, our student loan assistance initiative, we help veterinarians move toward financial freedom while continuing to do the work they love. And with FamilyFlex, we’re redefining flexibility in veterinary medicine, encouraging veterinarians at select hospitals design a schedule that fits their life outside the clinic.

Because real support goes beyond policies and paychecks, it’s about creating a culture where people can thrive, both in and out of the hospital. 

beyond Community reflects our belief that relationships are at the heart of everything we do.
 
Here, we celebrate the people who go above and beyond for their teams, their patients, and their neighborhoods. Through local outreach, animal welfare efforts, and community partnerships, our hospitals are creating real impact across the country.

But community isn’t just about geography, it’s about belonging. From rewarding team excellence through our On-the-Spot Recognition program to company-wide celebrations like our Leadership Summit awards, we take time to recognize the people who make our culture stronger every day.

We also recognize that community and leadership go hand in hand. Through our Circle of Excellence, we recognize our doctors who go above and beyond, giving back to AVG through specialized circles. 

Because being part of this community means more than working under the same name — it means lifting each other up, nurturing our relationships, giving back, and growing together.
