Job description

Emergency Veterinarian - Ethos ER Immerse Mentorship Program – Grand Terrace, CA

Now Offering- $100,000 student-loan reimbursement.

Animal Emergency Clinic is seeking veterinarians passionate about working in emergency medicine for our 6–12-month training and mentorship program. We are looking for individuals who are team-oriented, driven, reflective, and reliable to train with us and transition into an ER position at AEC.

Why You’ll Love AEC

This isn't mentorship on paper.

It's having an experienced emergency veterinarian beside you as you learn to manage emergency presentations, perform procedures, navigate challenging client conversations, and make critical medical decisions.

It's gaining confidence before being expected to practice independently.

What Support Really Looks Like At AEC

One of the biggest questions candidates ask is:

"What happens when I'm actually on the floor seeing cases?"

At AEC, support starts with one-on-one mentorship and continues long after the formal training program ends.

Under the leadership of Dr. Lewis, learning remains part of our culture every day. Our doctors continue to grow through:

• Weekly doctor discussions and case reviews
• Collaborative learning and case-based education
• Community outreach opportunities, including shelter medicine
• Ongoing mentorship and coaching
• Hands-on procedural training
• A culture where questions are encouraged and learning never stops

Our doctors genuinely enjoy helping one another succeed. Here, mentorship isn't a checkbox—it's part of who we are.

Why Doctor's Choose AEC

For more than 50 years, Animal Emergency Clinic has been serving pets and families throughout the Inland Empire. While veterinary medicine continues to evolve, our commitment to exceptional patient care and supporting our team remains unchanged.

What makes AEC special isn't just the medicine we practice—it's the people.

The Ethos ER Immerse Training Program

The ER Immerse Program will prepare veterinarians for a sustainable and satisfying career in emergency medicine. Built from the ground up to be different than traditional rotating internship programs, the ERi program has been developed around a curriculum of core competencies essential for an emergency veterinarian. In addition to providing training around clinical knowledge and skills, the program also includes a focus on client and team member communication, professional skills, and life/work integration.

The ER Immerse program utilizes a hybrid training approach incorporating simulation-based didactic components into authentic training experiences with live patients. The curriculum is designed using an evidence-based strategy identifying competencies and skills deemed essential for a successful career as an emergency clinician.
