About the Program
Fetch UnivERsity is tailored for veterinarians and upcoming veterinary graduates pursuing a career in emergency veterinary medicine. Here is an overview of the program: Apply Now
Program Criteria
This is a focused program for veterinarians and soon to be graduates of veterinary school. The program consists of eight months of direct supervision, followed by sixteen months of indirect supervision, for a two-year total commitment. During the initial direct supervision phase, you will work alongside a designated emergency clinician who will provide support. After the initial eight-month period, you will further hone your skills with indirect supervision or support. This designated eight-month mark may be altered to best meet your needs and these discussions will involve you, your mentor, and the medical director.
Onboarding
You will spend the first two weeks of the program shadowing other emergency clinicians to help learn the flow of the ER, learn the medical record operating system, and gain overall familiarity and comfort.
Program Schedule
To provide well-rounded emergency medicine training, trainees get full exposure to the spectrum that is emergency medicine. This necessitates that you work a variety of emergency shifts for a broader experience. Every day of the week is different in the ER in terms of caseload and variety of cases. Similarly, nights will allow you to refine your skills when caring for hospitalized patients.
Specialty Service Rotations
You will rotate through the pertinent specialty departments to get familiar with your team members and improve your breadth of knowledge. These departments include surgery, critical care, and internal medicine. Other services may be considered relevant for your program and hospital dynamic.
These rotations will consist of two-week periods and efforts will be made to schedule these at the onset of your training period. Out rotations will be considered and pursued where needed to bolster your exposure and training.
Didactic Schedule
Didactic training will be provided throughout the two-year program. This will consist of monthly topic rounds, that may also be supplemented with additional rounds as needed. You will be expected to participate in any relevant wet labs as these are available.
Mentorship
You will have a designated mentor who will evaluate your progress and quality of your program monthly for the first eight months and, at minimum, every four months thereafter. Your mentor and other administrative team members will provide regular feedback regarding performance and growth. This also allows some flexibility to tailor the program to best serve your needs and to help you grow as an emergency clinician.
What to Expect
We can provide the foundation and oversight to help you learn emergency medicine, but you ultimately get out of the program what you put in. Those that are driven will jump in and see cases, and take on cases that may be outside of their normal comfort zone. Push yourself to learn and take as much from those around you as possible.
Keep a Positive Attitude
Fetch takes great pride in having a collegial environment where people are happy to work. While emergency medicine can be stressful and demanding, we must maintain that jovial atmosphere. Treat colleagues with respect and maintain professionalism at all times.
Learn How to Interact with Emergency Clients
Emergency medicine likely has the most challenging client interactions. People who find themselves in the ER did not expect to be there, are worried about costs, are generally stressed, and have no prior clinician-client foundation to build upon (i.e. they don’t know us and likely do not immediately trust us). That gives us an amazing opportunity to help people who are in this difficult position, but we have to approach each pet/person as unique and try our best to provide them with a good experience. While this is intuitive and everyone in this profession has the best of intentions, we have to be particularly aware of this initial challenge.
