New to ER AT VEG

We find a way to say YES, so you can discover ER the VEG way.

Where ER careers begin—and begin again.

At VEG ER for Pets, we don’t believe in simply training people. We believe in launching them—into careers they didn’t think were possible. Whether you’re a DVM or nursing student, a new grad, or a practicing veterinarian looking to transition into emergency, we’ve built immersive learning experiences designed to meet you where you are.

From externships to scholarships to full-time training programs, everything here is hands-on, mentorship-driven, and rooted in the fast, people-first world of ER medicine. You won’t just observe—you’ll do. You’ll grow. And you’ll learn ER the VEG way.
