MedVet Training Programs

The Emergency Clinician Mentorship Program (ECMP) is an accelerated training program that allows you to enhance your diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, advance your clinical decision-making and technical skills, and hone your communication. At the center of the program is a mentor-mentee relationship that ensures a smooth transition into emergency medicine.

During the program, you’ll move from ER case management with direct supervision to indirect supervision to handling your own cases with the guidance of your mentor each step of the way. Your mentor will be an experienced ER doctor who is committed to your success and development. By the end of year one, you’ll have a full ER doctor salary and production. Plus, you’ll experience rotations in multiple departments and learn from a variety of board-certified specialists at one of our multi-specialty hospitals.
