The gold standard for veterinary careers.
The perfect place to learn and grow with extraordinary veterinary professionals
Why veterinary professionals are choosing us
Dr. Gary Thompson, Dipl. ABVP (Canine/Feline)
VLAB Chairman
Encore was founded by a DVM and is led with the support of our Veterinary Leaders Advisory Board (VLAB).
We built Encore because we felt that the needs of the veterinary industry were not being met by corporate medicine. With decades of experience, we know what works and, more importantly, what doesn’t. Our Veterinary Leaders Advisory Board helps ensure we’re giving veterinarians the resources they deserve.
Retrieve education when you want it!
The Encore Performance Academy provides RACE-accredited courses and inspires collaborative learning.
The Encore Performance Academy hosts a robust online and in-person library of RACE-accredited courses in leadership, business management, medicine, professional development, and communications, designed to grow leaders and build stronger practices. The EPA training style involves collaborating with fellow practice leaders, troubleshooting problems as a group, and participating in unique roleplays to put what you’ve learned into practice.
“Throughout your training with Encore, you’ll brainstorm with fellow veterinarians, troubleshoot problems as a group, and build lasting relationships you can lean on throughout your medical career.”
Lu Olsen, DVM
Medical Director, Animal Care of Greenville & EPA Instructor

Cats have balance, so should you!
Encore Vet Group has established itself as the only group to offer their practices Compassion Satisfaction Workplace Accreditation.
At the heart of this program is education and support! There are a plethora of misconceptions in our industry that lead to high attrition rates, poor communication, poor culture, and even high suicide rates. By educating and empowering staff, they become happier and better connected to one another. Imagine if Veterinary Medicine had the same level of standards for our employee’s health and well-being as it does for record-keeping, patient care, and safety. Well, now it does! The three phases of C-SAW provide hospitals with what they need to draw the most satisfaction from the work we do, and the compassion we provide.
“We’re thrilled to bring the first accreditation program that focuses on the veterinary team's health and well-being to every practice in the Encore Vet Group community, and beyond!”
Brenda Medina, CVPM, CVJ, MVLCE
