Seeking Externs and Full-Time Veterinarians
At Thrive Pet Healthcare, we believe your veterinary career should be just that – yours. Whether you’re pursuing general practice, ER, Large Animal or a specialty, our mission is to support your growth every step of the way through meaningful experiences, mentorship, and long-term career development.
Across our 400+ hospitals nationwide including Hawaii, we’ve built a culture grounded in collaboration, mentorship, and continuous learning. We value curiosity, communication, and compassion — and we create spaces where veterinary professionals are supported in building a career they’re proud of.
As a student, you’ll find several exciting opportunities with us, including:
• Externships tailored to your clinical interests – from GP to ER , Large Animal, Exotics and specialty, with options in many locations.
• Structured Mentorship designed to support you through your transition from student to doctor – including clinical, surgical, and communication coaching. Ask about our Regional Doctor Mentors and Viticus Surgery Program!
• Rotating Internships that provide broad exposure in medicine, surgery, and emergency
• ER Academy programs focused on preparing new graduates for high-paced emergency practice
• Residency Pathways through both university-affiliated programs and in-clinic residencies within Thrive hospitals, developed in partnership with specialty teams across the country
These programs are designed to give you a strong foundation – whether you’re exploring career options or ready to commit to a focused path.
We’re always looking for externs who are engaged, curious, and ready to learn. You don’t need to have it all figured out – we’ll work with you to create an experience that fits your goals and provides insight into life as a practicing DVM.
This fall, you can connect with us at the TAMU Career Fair in October. It’ll be a great chance to meet some of our team, ask questions, and hear real-world advice on how to navigate externships, internships, and your first year in practice.
And if you’re job-searching soon we’d love to be part of it. Check out our current New Graduate Openings in the link below.
