Graduate Mentoring Program

Applications for the 2025-2026 mentoring cohort are now open!

The AVA Graduate Mentoring Program connects experienced veterinarians with new graduates so that they can receive one-on-one advice and support as they transition into the profession. The program is structured over a 12 month period, and participation is voluntary.

The program will provide you with:

• Guidance for your career and professional development in the veterinary profession, from someone with a wealth of experience
• An opportunity to reflect on professional challenges and opportunities
• Satisfaction from helping others and contributing to the veterinary profession
• A chance to develop your mentoring and leadership skills

Whether you're a mentor or a mentee, you'll find mentoring a rewarding part of your experience as an AVA member.
