If you are a credentialed veterinary technician with an

interest in obtaining your Veterinary Technician Specialist

(VTS) in Emergency and Critical Care, Anesthesia or

Internal Medicine, you may be interested in our VTS

Mentorship Program.

Cornell University Veterinary Specialists (CUVS) is a

mission-driven specialty and emergency center, providing

exceptional and innovative medicine that is both patient-

centered and service-oriented. We are an independent, for-

profit subsidiary of Cornell University, combining the best

aspects of academia and of private practice to create a

unique hospital model. Our Core Values include: Patient-

Centered Medicine, Integrated Care, and a Culture of

Learning. We are currently enhancing our intensive VTS

mentorship program, designed to facilitate and support

technicians committed to achieving their goal of VTS

certification.

If you have been a credentialed veterinary technician for at

least 2 years and have the desire and the commitment

necessary to achieve your VTS, we will support you. Our

program provides: a robust caseload, exposure to complex

cases and advanced diagnostics and therapeutics, access to

many board-certified specialists in a teaching environment,

ongoing and active mentorship by Veterinary Technician

Specialists and others, ample continuing education

opportunities, structured study and exam preparation

opportunities, collaboration and collegiality. The rest is up

to you. But we will commit to doing our best to prepare

you in reaching your next career milestone.

Obtaining your VTS is a validation of your commitment to

exceptional medicine. It provides you a greater role in patient

care, team development and leadership, as well as a higher

earning potential! Obtaining your VTS is challenging and

requires additional effort above and beyond your regular job

responsibilities for 2 or more years. Why go it alone? Why

not work towards a common goal with a team of like-minded

peers?

CUVS has a truly exceptional and unique culture that

makes for an unparalleled work environment. This

culture prioritizes and values the veterinary

technician and their essential role in the clinical

team. Our doctors and technicians are a cohesive team of

professionals who strongly believe in collaboration,

communication and respect. Why choose a hospital that

offers you a job, when you can choose a hospital that

offers you a career?

CUVS offers an outstanding compensation package with

excellent pay structure and terrific benefits that include CE

allowance, matching 401k, medical, dental, pet, disability and

life insurance. CUVS is a great place to utilize and grow your

skills in a challenging, rewarding, fun, and respectful

environment. Individuals with a passion for their work, a keen

sense of collaboration and teamwork, and an appreciation for

diversity are strongly encouraged to apply.
