We are looking for individuals who are team oriented, driven, reflective, and reliable to train with us and transition into an ER position at VESH in West Springfield, MA.

Nestled in the beautiful [2] Pioneer Valley and Five Colleges area of Western Massachusetts, VESH is a VECCS Level II specialty and 24-hour emergency hospital that serves Western MA, Northern CT, and Southern VT and NH.

We have an exciting, diverse, and plentiful caseload at each hospital!

We are a tight-knit, collegial group of medical professionals who work collaboratively to provide the highest level of both patient and client care possible.

In addition to our stellar ER DVMs, we have specialists in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Surgery, and Avian/ Exotics. Not to mention our highly-trained and dedicated support staff. With the recent addition of Avian/Exotics, we are able to provide support and training if this is an interest; however, we can also support canine/feline only for your ER caseload.

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.
