So why would you want to tap into the support RSVP offers? There are a variety of reasons, but here’s three;

Most relief veterinarians associated with RSVP take advantage of RSVP’s Concierge Service. Here you are assigned a caring manager that works to support your unique needs. The manager learns your likes and dislikes. It’s like having a personal coach that is always looking out for your needs.
  • RSVP has the tools and resources you need. The RSVP Mobile App is the centerpiece of most of what you will need to operate your relief business. This service, as described in more detail below, connects the veterinarian with communication tools, money management features, clinical resources, and necessary business resources.
  • RSVP has the connections you need. Though many relief veterinarians have regular client hospitals they count on for work, we all recognize that life is dynamic and situations change. Having filled nearly half a million relief shifts, RSVP is well connected with thousands of hospitals. When you need a little extra work, RSVP is there to offer you shifts suited to your needs. RSVP can even back you up when you are in a pinch and need to cancel a job. “Relief options for the Relief doctor”.

Concierge Services

The Concierge Services that RSVP offers are for the elite doctors that recognize the benefit of having the daily assistance of a personal RSVP manager assigned to them and their needs.

  • The Concierge Manager assists in recommending shifts that are ideally suited to the needs of each unique relief veterinarian. The veterinarian simply indicates their availability on the RSVP App and the Concierge Manager proposes the best work options to choose from. This booking service often occurs two or more months in advance, creating job security and alignment to the best job opportunities available.
  • For those wanting to fill gaps in their schedule, there is a job opportunity listing with open shifts displayed and customized to locations and skill sets appropriate to the individual’s needs. The relief veterinarian simply requests suitable shifts and, if available, a confirmation from their manager quickly appears in the app.
  • Multi-day Contracts – For those wanting even more security, RSVP offers Multi-day contracts guaranteeing work year round. Pick the number of days and/or the specific days available and RSVP will coordinate the rest.
  • Travel Vet opportunities – Escape to another part of the country where you are licensed. Pick the city, work days available, and duration of your stay, and an RSVP manager does the rest. They can even help secure accommodations in most situations. A wide variety of states are available for veterinarians to experience the fun of being a Travel Vet.
