Über diese Associate Veterinarian - 2027 MADE Program Stelle bei Bond Vet
Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we’re there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in-house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.
In July 2026, Bond Vet and Small Door Veterinary merged to build a more connected, accessible, and compassionate veterinary care experience across routine, primary, and urgent care. The combined organization will span more than 55 clinics across major Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest markets, serving over half a million pets.
This role will play an important part in shaping the next chapter of our combined organization and advancing our shared mission to transform veterinary care.

Overview
Mission: Give every new graduate the structure, mentorship, and support to become a confident, skilled, and compassionate veterinarian.
Traditionally, new veterinary graduates have had three main paths: an internship, specialization, or jumping straight into practice. We’ve created something different: a structured, supportive six-month program that builds strong clinical skills and strong communication skills side by side, with a dedicated mentor and our full veterinary network behind you.
This is a competitive program, and we accept a limited number of applicants.
What You’ll Learn
Clinical Medicine and Surgery
- Primary and acute care, including complex medical workups with long-term follow-up.
- Foundational dentistry and spay/neuter surgery training.
- RECOVER CPR certification and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training.
- Monthly case rounds and knowledge assessments that reinforce your learning throughout the program.
Communication
- We teach communication with the same rigor as medicine, because it is just as vital. The best treatment plan only works when clients understand it and trust it.
- Explaining diagnoses, treatment options, and estimates in clear, compassionate language, and navigating difficult conversations with confidence and empathy.
- Communicating effectively with your care team so every patient gets coordinated, consistent care.
What You Bring
- A DVM or equivalent degree from an accredited veterinary school (recent or upcoming graduates).
- Eligibility for veterinary licensure in the state where you’ll practice.
Who You Are

- Someone who loves advanced general practice and the problem-solving it takes to work through complex cases.
- Someone who values the human-animal bond and wants to care for patients and their pet parents over a lifetime.

- Internal and external continuing education.
- Generous PTO for rest and enjoyment.
