The Ethos ER Immerse Training Program


The ER Immerse Program will prepare veterinarians for a sustainable and satisfying career in emergency medicine. Built from the ground up to be different than traditional rotating internship programs, the ERi program has been developed around a curriculum of core competencies essential for an emergency veterinarian. In addition to providing training around clinical knowledge and skills, the program also includes a focus on client and team member communication, professional skills, and life/work integration.  

The ER Immerse program utilizes a hybrid training approach incorporating simulation-based didactic components into authentic training experiences with live patients. The curriculum is designed using an evidence-based strategy identifying competencies and skills deemed essential for a successful career as an emergency clinician.

Our emergency clinicians also have the opportunity to perform emergency surgeries if desired. If you have a passion for surgery, we will help foster and strengthen it with hands-on training. Do you prefer to refer surgeries and focus on receiving? Our surgery department has got you covered!


To further support our emergency team and our patients, we have recently implemented ER Express to help streamline the flow of receiving. We have also rolled out our Intermediate Care department to see lower acuity cases and allow the ER DVM on shift to focus on the more critical cases coming in.


What makes MissionVet unique

At MissionVet, we strive to function as a cohesive team, providing mentorship, continuing education and consultations within the hospital in order to work through even the toughest cases. The emergency service is directly supported by all specialty services, and specialists are on call for after-hours emergencies.

Specialty services offered at MissionVet include:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Neurology and Neurosurgery
  • Critical Care

Cutting edge techniques such as minimally invasive surgery and advanced diagnostics such as 16-slice CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, cytology and bronchoscopy help us ensure that we are giving our patients the best chances for a positive outcome.


We take pride in not only delivering world-class medicine but also taking time to educate clients about their pet’s condition to ensure that they are making informed decisions about their loved one's health. We know that dealing with pet health issues can be difficult and stressful, so our warm hospital atmosphere and friendly staff will make clients feel as comfortable as possible during their visit.


MissionVet is committed to a servant leadership approach. Our Hospital Director, Paul Trevino, and our Medical Directors, Dr. Grant Ramsey and Dr. Timothy Johnson, have fostered a familial and collaborative environment with clear and open lines of communication, designated department meetings, and implementation of team feedback.
