ROLESVILLE, N.C., Jan. 30, 2024 — Vets Pets, a North Carolina cooperative network of veterinary hospitals, proudly spotlights the exceptional educational environment at Rolesville Veterinary Hospital, a model for integrating real-world veterinary practice with advanced learning. The hospital’s unique approach combines high-quality animal care with a nurturing setting for aspiring veterinarians and technicians.
“We believe in fostering a learning environment where education and practice go hand in hand,” commented Dr. Jennifer Hummel, Partner at Rolesville Veterinary Hospital. “Four of our former technicians are currently at leading veterinary schools, and another vet assistant is heading to Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine in the fall.”
Rolesville Veterinary Hospital is a beacon of comprehensive veterinary services, with its flagship location in Rolesville and sister hospitals in Louisburg and Raleigh. It specializes in surgeries, general practice, exotics, and urgent care, among other services.
“Rolesville has created a family-like atmosphere that values continuous learning and growth,” said Vets Pets CEO Steve Thomas. “This culture not only benefits the staff and externs but also ensures the highest level of care for our animal patients.”
The teaching culture extends to its staff, where several team members are actively pursuing further education. In 2023, Rolesville Veterinary Hospital hosted four veterinary students for externships and will welcome six more in 2024 from universities such as Arizona State, Mississippi State, Lincoln Memorial University, and NC State. These opportunities offer students a hands-on experience in a high-volume, diverse practice setting.
Rolesville Veterinary Hospital’s dedication to creating a culture of teaching reflects Vets Pets’ commitment to advancing veterinary medicine through education and practice. This approach not only shapes skilled veterinarians but also elevates the standards of animal care.
