New Grad Veterinarian

Sploot Veterinary Care•Chicago, IL
•Onsite

About The Position

Sploot is hiring new graduate veterinarians in Chicago for 2026 and 2027. New graduates begin with CAMP (Coaching And Mentorship Program), a structured, one-on-one mentorship pathway designed to develop clinical skills, confidence, and efficiency for independent practice. Veterinarians work alongside experienced doctors and a fully staffed nursing team, with opportunities to learn across multiple Sploot hospitals. During the first six weeks of CAMP, the veterinarian is paired one-on-one with a senior DVM each shift and sees the same schedule while learning the full scope of DVM responsibilities. After CAMP, protected learning blocks continue and taper as confidence and caseload grow. A formal evaluation takes place three months after graduating from CAMP, covering clinical decision-making, case management, efficiency, client communication, medical records, and nurse delegation. The role offers a $130,000 starting base salary on a 4x10 schedule during CAMP, followed by a ProSal model with 20–22% production after CAMP. Sign-on and relocation bonuses are available. Sploot welcomes fourth-year students and candidates licensed or eligible for licensure in Illinois. Applications are accepted year-round, and hiring is continuous in accordance with Illinois state law.
