VV Application

Visiting Veterinarian Application
Our Visiting Veterinarian Program offers veterinarians the opportunity to observe within our clinical services for a short period of time.

A weekly fee may be charged for visiting our facilities and clinical services. This fee does not include accommodations or other travel/personal expenses. The final fee amount is determined based on your current position and will be set after we receive the required documents listed below. Please note that DVMs in the academic sector, private practice, or working independently each have distinct fee structures.

Once your visit is approved by the faculty and service, a $200 non-refundable application and processing fee will be charged. If applicable, the weekly program fee is due by the Sunday prior to your on-site arrival.

Please note that visiting veterinarians are observers only and are not permitted to participate in clinical procedures due to licensing, immigration (when applicable), and liability restrictions.

Because our facility is located in a rabies-endemic area, proof of rabies vaccination is required for all individuals entering the hospital and diagnostic laboratory. We require documentation of either a 3-dose rabies vaccination series, or a 2-dose series and a titer taken within the past two years. In addition, all visitors must provide proof of U.S. based health and professional liability insurance covering the duration of the visit.
