Vets4Pets EMS Bursaries
At Vets4Pets, we know that EMS provides a key part of a student’s transition from the lecture theatre to becoming a practicing vet, as well as providing a safe and supportive environment to practice clinical skills and put academic learning to use in the real world. That’s why so many of our practices are keen to work with EMS students and pass on their knowledge to the next generation.
We've listened to current vet students and our recent graduates and and we know that finding and funding EMS is an increasing challenge. That's why we launched the Vets4Pets EMS Bursaries, funding students to undertake clinical EMS in our practices.
Bursary recipients will be given £407 per week for a 2 week placement, gaining practical hands-on experience in one of our supportive practices. You don't need to have a placement arranged in order to apply - we can help you with this!
You will also have access to a Fast-Track application to our award-winning Vets4Pets Graduate Programme when you qualify!
