The VetX Graduate Community pilot program, first launched in the U.K. and Australia, is now open for enrollment in the U.S and Canada.

Aimed at veterinary surgeons in the first five years of their career, the program offers monthly veterinary nonclinical skills training, online mentoring, and a peer support network of young vets from around the world.

“We welcomed more than 50 vets to the community in our pilot group,” said Dave Nicol, BVMS, MRCVS, VetX Graduate founder and author of So You’re A Vet … Now What? “Since then we’ve successfully delivered training and support, improving member outcomes and helping them to engage with their work and practices in a healthier way.”

Since its launch in September 2017, the company has doubled the number of training hours available, recruited a community manager, and added two mentors in the U.S. and Australia to the team.

The technology platform also has been overhauled, offering improved interaction, membership management, and tracks progress, according to the company.

The graduate is open to all and is complementary to in-house training or other clinical CPD training.

Membership is $500 per year or $45 per month. Visit drdavenicol.com/vetx-grad for more information.
