VetPrac is excited to announce our New & Recent Graduate Support Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to assist newly graduated veterinarians in transitioning seamlessly into their new careers. This free program offers support, exclusive educational discounts, and resources tailored to the realities of veterinary practice.
The New & Recent Graduate Support Program by VetPrac is developed to provide ongoing support to new veterinarians. It offers access to modules led by experienced veterinary professionals, along with substantial discounts on courses and workshops, ensuring that new grads have the tools they need to succeed from the start.
“We recognised a significant gap in the transition from veterinary school to professional practice. New graduates were entering the field without the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of their first jobs effectively,” says Dr. Tonya Stokes. “Our goal with this program is not just to fill that gap but to ensure that every new vet has the opportunity to thrive in their career and develop a lasting passion for this profession. We want them to not just survive but to love their job and stay in the field.”

Module 2: What to Say & When

Module 3: Surgical Survival Skills

Module 4: End of Life Care & Euthanasia

Module 5: Starting Out in Large Animal Practice

Margie is VetPrac’s Director, and she has the most admirable quality of any leader: she’s a hopeless coffee addict. This makes it okay for all other staff to be hopeless coffee addicts. Other, secondary attributes include her warmth, openness and her ability to inspire. Most of us would walk over hot coals for Margie, but thankfully, she’s happy to share a decent medium-dark roasted bean with a full crema and some superbly textured milk.
