Veterinarians who are interested in research can work with our Ethos Discovery team to participate in the planning and facilitation of clinical trials.

Emergency Veterinarians that are interested in advancing their career and obtaining certification through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP) can participate in our flexible non-residency path to diplomate status through ER ABVP Guided Program.

• ER ABVP Guided Program - The ER ABVP Guided program is tailored for individuals seeking structured guidance to achieve board certification as a generalist. This program offers two tailored options that meet you where you are, allowing you to reach your emergency career goals without the need for an internship. Ideal for all emergency practitioners looking to deepen their expertise in emergency practice, these paths let you stay in your current hospital, enjoying full wages and benefits while pursuing board certification.
• Ethos Discovery – Ethos Discovery is a stand‑alone not for profit created to fulfill unmet needs that holds the potential to improve outcomes for veterinary and human health care patients. It is our hope that Ethos Discovery research and clinical studies will pave the way for innovations that provide improved diagnostic and treatment options that lead to a cure for complex medical conditions such as cancer.
• Specialty Advisory Board (SAB) – The Specialty Advisory Board is group of medical leaders that support Ethos Veterinary Health’s foundational principle of providing world‑class medicine through medical innovation, cross‑functional collaboration, strengthening relationships with partners in academia and industry, and developing hospital resources.
• Medical Director’s Advancement Council (MDAC) - Our medical leaders can easily and quickly reach their peers from around the globe. This open line of communication has allowed our hospitals to not only improve patient care and medical operations through the sharing of best practices, but and build a sense of community and belonging across borders.

Ethos Veterinary Health, part of the NVA Group, is where you come to practice world‑class medicine, and help shape what veterinary care becomes next.

Across our network of 140 specialty and emergency hospitals, science moves forward, standards are elevated, and innovation is put into practice every day. You’ll work alongside respected veterinary leaders in academic‑caliber hospitals designed for learning, teaching, and discovery.

Here, mentorship is a two‑way street. You’ll share your expertise, learn from others, and continue to grow, clinically, professionally, and personally.

At Ethos, you inspire hope, deliver exceptional care, and pursue veterinary medicine at its highest level, together.

Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short‑term and long‑term disability, and life insurance.
