What Happens In Vegas - The clinic sits just 20 minutes from the Red Rock National Conservation Area. You may think you know Vegas, but beyond the strip, the city has a small-town feel and a robust horse community.
With 12 months of sunny weather and 70 degrees in January, it serves as a great climate for outdoor activities:
- Trail running
- Mountain biking
- Mountain climbing
- Golf
- Team roping
- Trail riding
- Competing in equestrian events
Plus, it is home to professional sports teams, including The Raiders (NFL) and The Las Vegas Golden Knights (NHL), and many national equestrian events, from show jumpers to professional rodeo.
Applicants can be board qualified or individuals who have completed surgery residency training. Applicants must be in completion in good standing of a DVM or VMD degree from an accredited university, or a graduate of a college of veterinary medicine that has completed The Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates® (ECFVG®) certification program, and has a veterinary license and accreditation to practice in the state of Nevada.
