Veterinary surgeons who are board-certified or have completed an ECVS or ACVS residency have until 19 April to apply for Aura Veterinary’s new two-year surgical oncology fellowship, reflecting continued growth in advanced career pathways within referral practice.
The fellowship is aimed at clinicians who have already completed formal surgical training through residency and are looking to further specialise in oncological procedures. Based at AURA Veterinary’s referral centre, the programme is positioned as a post-residency development opportunity, with fellows expected to operate at senior clinician level.
Over the two-year programme, fellows will work within a multidisciplinary team, contributing to the management of complex cancer cases. The role is designed to deepen expertise in surgical oncology, an area that continues to evolve as treatment options expand.
Alongside clinical responsibilities, the fellowship includes involvement in teaching, research and service development, reflecting the broader expectations placed on senior clinicians in referral settings.
The launch of the programme highlights how career progression within small animal practice is becoming more structured at higher levels. As veterinary practice continues to become more specialised, the growth of veterinary certificates, internships, residencies, and fellowships like this one will play a greater role in supporting career growth and helping practices meet rising demand for complex case management.
Please find more information about how to apply for the Fellowship on AURA's website. Application deadline is 19th April.
