Seeking Full-Time Veterinarians & Externs

Texas Group One is a group of veterinarians whose philosophy is to embrace the entrepreneurial spirit through private practice ownership. Formed in 1999 by several practice owners who attended Texas A&M University’s executive management classes together, these individuals forged a bond fueled by a common goal: a desire for practices built on good medicine and strong business management concepts.

We have several clinics that are interested in hosting externships and several clinics looking for Associate Veterinarians. Someone within our group is always hiring and we have multiple practices and locations to fit any need! Reach out to us via our website for more information or to learn about the clinics within our study group.

Our mission is to promote the benefits of private practice ownership and improve the quality of our lives by leading the veterinary industry in developing and implementing advanced management techniques.

Our membership embraces veterinarians in many different stages of life and practice growth, and even includes a few retirees. We host fall and spring meetings to discuss business management and problem-solve. TG1 frequently engages the help of nationally recognized veterinary consultants for our owner meetings and brings in national speakers for combined staff training events. Additionally, our membership buying group negotiates contracts together where all member practices benefit.

Together, through our Texas Group One participation, we are individually stronger, better practices.

We will also be hosting a social the evening after the Career Fair- for more information visit: https://www.texasgroupone.com/veterinary-student-reception-2024.html

Seeking Externs and Full-Time Veterinarians
Paid externships

You should extern at as many practices as you can. While there, observe and absorb from doctors and staff. A good tech will show you ways to save time and make your days easier. Watch how other doctors work and ask yourself, “is this who I want to be?” Are they always late or do they find ways to be on time? Do they typically complain or make the best out of an unfavorable situation? Can they lead or need to be lead? Find yourself a well-balanced team to make your first 4 years as an associate fun and a team that you want to learn from.
Almost every practice has the same toys and gadgets. We all provide similar work-life balance, so start looking for the intangibles that compliment your personality.
A practice full of energy awaits you. Come see us as an extern or Associate DVM.
