This program is intended for licensed veterinarians who graduated within the last seven years; other candidates may be considered based on their level of interest.
Up to ten participants will be selected from the applicant pool to participate. Participants will join a network of peers in a year-long series of learning experiences that commence in October and culminate in fall 2026.
In-person learning experiences are scheduled to minimize the impact on working hours and the entire program is designed to garner support from practice owners who recognize their key responsibility in developing human resources.
Participants must maintain a 2026 CVMA membership. CVMA will provide food at each session, coaches, the curriculum team, and two nights of lodging for the initial gathering; participants are otherwise responsible for their own lodging if needed and for transportation to all learning experiences.
