AN ORGANIZATION BUILT TO SUPPORT YOU

Industry-Leading PTO Program
At SVP, we like to call it TRUE PTO because here, you can actually take personal time off without worrying about making up lost production when you get back. Production-wise it's like you never left. Relaxation-wise, it's a game-changer.

Clinical Tracks
Our Clinical Tracks Program offers RACE-approved CE credit facilitated by veterinary specialists to elevate the clinical skills of SVP veterinarians and credentialed technicians to enhance the care of patients. Courses offered: Dentistry, Oncology, Anesthesiology, and Cardiology and more to come.

High Producer Bonus
Eligible DVMs will earn a bonus payout of up to 10% additional production in the month after contract renewal. The bonus rate will be determined by their contracted production rate and the amount of excess production. Here, you can earn a greater share of the success you help create. And the sky is the limit.

Maternity Leave
FULL PAY for four weeks. Because mamas deserve it. Plus short-term disability at 60% of your salary (six weeks for natural birth, eight weeks for C-section), and all still in addition to your PTO. (P.S. We definitely want baby pics when you're ready to share.)

Lead Doctor Foundations
At SVP, we never stop investing in our people. And we're turning our great veterinarians into great leaders, as well. This executive education experience is designed to develop your business leadership acumen to drive success around your hospital's culture, team development, and operations.
