PEH strives to maintain a close-knit, supportive atmosphere, allowing Interns to grow and develop individual skills and interests. This program is perfect for new doctors seeking to join a diverse and thriving mid-size practice that values and promotes teamwork and a desired work-life balance.

As part of the Altano Group, we are leading the way in equine veterinary care, and that starts with taking care of our PEH team members.
