Veterinary Surgical Enhancement Program

The Amici Cannis Veterinary Surgical Enhancement Program offers veterinarians a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the daily operations of a high-volume, high-impact nonprofit veterinary hospital while advancing their surgical knowledge and practical skills. Designed for practicing veterinarians seeking to expand their clinical confidence and surgical proficiency, the program combines mentorship, hands-on experience, and exposure to a diverse caseload in a supportive learning environment.


Participants are integrated into all aspects of hospital operations, working closely alongside our veterinary team throughout their stay. The program encourages active involvement in medical case discussions, patient evaluation, diagnostics, treatment planning, hospital rounds, and post-operative care. By engaging directly with our doctors and technical staff, veterinarians gain valuable insight into clinical decision-making, case management, and the multidisciplinary approach required to provide high-quality veterinary care.


A central focus of the Surgical Enhancement Program is the development of practical surgical skills. Participants have the opportunity to perform surgical procedures under the guidance of experienced veterinary surgeons. Training may include surgical planning, aseptic technique, anesthesia protocols, soft tissue surgery, perioperative patient management, and post-surgical follow-up. Through individualized mentorship and exposure to a high surgical caseload, participants can strengthen their technical abilities while refining their surgical judgment and efficiency.


Beyond surgical training, veterinarians gain firsthand experience working in a purpose-built hospital that serves both privately owned animals and community outreach programs. This unique setting provides a broader perspective on animal welfare, access to veterinary care, nonprofit hospital management, and the role veterinary professionals play in improving the well-being of both animals and communities.


The Veterinary Surgical Enhancement Program is ideal for veterinarians seeking advanced mentorship, practical surgical experience, and professional growth in an international setting. Whether participants are recent graduates looking to build confidence or experienced practitioners seeking to expand their skill set, the program offers a valuable opportunity to learn from a dedicated team committed to excellence in veterinary medicine.


The program is available year-round, allowing veterinarians to participate at a time that best fits their professional schedules and learning objectives.
