BLVD Team Culture & Opportunity
New Graduate Mentorship
We use a tailored, 4 phase training program to start your veterinary career at BLVD Vet with confidence! All graduates will have a minimum 3 months of structured mentorship and up to 6 months of built in surgical mentorship.
Phase 1: Month 1
You'll be scheduled to work under the direct supervision of your mentor for 3 appointment shifts and 1 surgery shift per week.
Week 1:
Get to know our team and protocols as you shadow your mentor!
Week 2-3:
If you havenβt already, you'll start taking the lead on a 5-7 appointments each day.
We'll help you build up to handling an appointment every hour.
Continue to get comfortable in surgery and follow up care.
Week 4:
Get ready to shine by taking on more appointments (around 1 per hour).
Phase 2: Month 2
You'll be scheduled to work along side your mentor for 2-3 appointment shifts and under their direct supervision for 1-2 procedure shifts per week.
Week 1-2:
Continue to get acclimated to 7-9 appointments per appointment shift.
Continue to gain experience with surgeries and dentistry under the guidance of your mentor.
Week 3-4:
Weβll work with you to increase your appointment efficiency and appointments will be scheduled every 30 to 45 minutes depending on the case.
Weβll encourage you to to take the lead on all procedures now but your mentor will remain by your side to help!
Phase 3: Month 3
You'll be scheduled to work along side your mentor for 2-3 appointment shifts and under their direct supervision for 1-2 procedure shifts per week.
Time to get into the near normal rhythm of our stagger appointment scheduling! Youβll be paired with 2 Veterinary Technicians and a Veterinary Assistants to see 13-14 appointments per day. Donβt worry, weβll still have a couple hold blocks in case you need them.
Continue to gain confidence and efficiency in procedures with your mentor.
Phase 4: Months 4-6
Youβll be scheduled as the fully capable appointment veterinarian you now are! Donβt worry though, we can still work more on your procedure confidence as needed.
You will be fully prepared to manage our normal stagger appointment schedule at the start of month 4!
When it comes to procedures, we know you may not be fully prepared to fly solo so we will continue to schedule you for 1 procedure per week with your mentor. If after 6 months youβre still struggling, we can discuss a plan to provide additional training days. We want you to succeed in your goals!
What have our new grads said?
βThe staff-everyone at every level is very motivated to do a good job and do it efficiently. I trust them to do assigned tasks and help me stay on track. They are all extremely kind and encouraging and keep it a calm and welcoming environment. β
βDr. Sapato supplied us new grads with a excel document of common cases and how theyβre often approached which was extremely helpful. β
βI enjoyed that I shadowed the first day or two entirely then started seeing a few easy appointments on my own right away to help build my confidence and better understand the flow.β
