High Clinical Standards Come Standard
When it comes to veterinary medicine, nothing is more important than the quality of our care. That’s why we’ve set standards for everything from licensing and medical record keeping, to equipment and surgical procedures. And we only work with doctors and hospital partners who meet those standards.
Highly vetted vets.
(In fact, less than 1 in 6 make the cut).
We want our partner hospitals and their patients to know that by the time you walk into their practice, you’ve already earned an enthusiastic thumbs-up (several, in fact). So, we designed a thoughtful interview and vetting process. It helps us make sure your clinical skills are strong, your client skills are excellent, and—with the active support of your IndeVets team—you’re ready to hit the ground running.
So what’s it take to be an IndeVet?
Here are the basic clinical requirements every IndeVet must have:
- High quality, post-grad hospital experience including any or all the following:
- Small animal GP or ER experience
- Completion of a reputable internship program
- If less than two years in practice, experience must include an active mentorship (might be the perfect time to check out the new IndeVets mentorship program).
- Ability to work a minimum of 25 hours/week
- Active veterinary license/DEA license/CDS license (if applicable) or ability to apply for a license in the state you’re applying to work in
We don’t partner with just any hospital.
Clinical excellence doesn’t rest solely upon vets. That’s why all our hospital partners fill out a detailed questionnaire to begin working with IndeVets. It’s part of our extensive process to ensure every practice is well run and has appropriate support staff for you.
And in the rare case that one of our clinics strays from our standards, the support system we have in place around every IndeVet—we call it your Advocacy Team—steps in to address those issues. That burden is never on you.
We stay on top of how it’s going. Our doctors rate our partner hospitals on a regular basis, and we’re happy to report that after thousands of shifts, our hospitals are rated 4.7 on average out of a five-paw scale.
Same profession. Just better.
Get a break. For real.
Every hospital is encouraged to provide a reasonable (usually one hour) break for you to catch up, eat, and re-energize. And you’re paid for every minute of it.
By your side.
If you run into any issues with the clinic or staff, your dedicated IndeVets Advocacy Team has your back. We address it with the clinic, so you can stay focused on the patients.
Know before you go.
Every hospital has an online profile (check out one here) where you can find info on everything from their attire and hospital protocols to diagnostic capabilities and how many appointments are scheduled per hour.
Get paid for every minute.
Your free time is yours, so we’ll never ask you to work more hours than your minimum. But if your shift does run long, we make sure you’re paid for every single minute you’re there.
Great vets second.
Great people first.
From our vets to our leadership team, we’re dedicated to being our best selves, passionate about making the profession better, and actually pretty fun to be around. And that’s all possible because we take our core value of being “highly competent and nice” very seriously. Our version of “nice” literally translates to a “No Jerks” policy in our handbook and every single one of us gets reviewed against this standard.
All of the benefits, none of the burnout.
We’re on a mission to make veterinary medicine better. Hopefully with you.
