Your next veterinarian is already practicing. Just not here yet.
Every week a DVM role sits open is turned-away patients, burned-out staff, and lost revenue. We recruit licensed veterinarians in Mexico and Canada, verify their credentials, and run the U.S. licensing, TN visa and relocation process end to end. Every placement is backed by a 3-year replacement guarantee.
Speed to placement
Two distinct pipelines. Both licensed, credentialed, and visa-eligible.
Placeable in weeks
Canadian DVMs qualify for the TN visa issued at the border, and many are already NAVLE-passed. The path from offer letter to first shift can run in weeks, not quarters.
Accelerated 9-15 month path
UNAM-accredited Mexican DVMs (FMVZ-UNAM 2011-2025) work under AVMA accreditation, they skip ECFVG and go directly to state licensing and TN visa.
In New York? Your veterinarian can start working now.
ECFVG-certified international veterinarians qualify for a New York State limited permit, allowing them to practice immediately under the supervision of a NY-licensed veterinarian while they complete the NAVLE. The permit is valid for up to two years.
Practice under supervision the day the permit is issued.
Many ECFVG-pathway DVMs bring 7-15 years of experience, including running entire hospitals, with strong English.
Supervision as a benefit: your team onboards a licensed international DVM inside your standards, not in isolation.
Limited permits are issued by the NYSED Office of the Professions; eligibility is determined individually.
If your veterinarian leaves within 36 months, we replace them at no additional placement fee.
