The neurology service is composed of 4 ECVN-boarded diplomats, a neurology resident, a neurology intern and three nurses with a dedicated role to the running of the service. The residency training program has been approved by the ECVN education committee in April 2019.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Personal specification for application
A proactive, professional approach and a positive attitude at all times, together with outstanding interpersonal skills, an ability to stay calm under pressure, great team work skills, and a commitment to practising the highest standards of veterinary medicine and patient care is required.
If you have these skills and wish to apply for the residency programme, you must be a qualified veterinary surgeon and be eligible for full membership of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
A minimum of twelve months experience working as a qualified Veterinary Surgeon in small animal private practice in the UK is essential. We expect that candidates will have completed a minimum of a one-year rotating internship or have gained equivalent experience in first opinion practice. There is a need to conduct research projects as part of the residency requirements and therefore an interest in research is desirable.
