Elevate Your Veterinary Future
Dear Veterinary Students in Budapest,
Are you ready to transition from textbooks to the treatment room?
We are thrilled to invite you to a workshop hosted by Tierarzt Plus Partner. Our goal is to provide you with a transparent look into the veterinary profession and equip you with the practical confidence you need for your first day in a clinic.
Date:
February 12th, 2026
Agenda:

- 11:45 – Kick-start your vet career with practical insights and real-life case studies | Speaker: Maximilian Berger

Rather than just talking about theory, we’ll be diving into real-life X-ray cases to sharpen your diagnostic skills in a relaxed environment. It’s also a great chance to chat about what to expect after graduation and learn more about our internship and graduate programs.

About Tierarzt Plus Partner
We are an active network of small animal practices and clinics throughout Germany. Our mission: “Together, we work to create the best experience for animals and people every day.”
For us, this means continuously improving working conditions for veterinarians and veterinary assistants (TFA). For example, we ensure family-friendly working hours, provide modern practice equipment and innovative technologies, and invest in our own internal continuing education academy. These investments strengthen our practice teams and sustainably enhance the experience for animals and clients alike.
Our community is characterized by the diversity within our network. We value one another and take into account the expertise and goals of every employee. To achieve this, we actively promote knowledge-sharing between our practices.
As a network, we are able to overcome the many challenges facing the industry—such as the shortage of skilled workers, high workloads, and outdated practices—to ensure sustainable animal health.
We are already active in many regions, where we maintain and create veterinary care structures. Since our founding in 2019, Tierarzt Plus Partner has established itself as a supra-regional network for veterinary practices.
Our central team in Berlin supports the local practice teams in the areas of practice management, marketing, HR, digitalization, and finance. Whether at our headquarters or on-site in the practice, we are united by our vision: “Living healthy veterinary medicine through partnership.”
Graduate Program
Tierarzt Plus Partner offers a structured Graduate Program (Berufseinsteigerprogramm) specifically designed for newly licensed veterinarians to ensure a smooth transition from university to professional practice in small animal medicine.
Key Highlights of the Program:
- Mentorship & Support: Instead of being „thrown into the deep end,“ graduates are assigned a personal mentor (an experienced veterinarian) who provides guidance during the initial weeks and months.
- Practical Training: The program focuses on „learning by doing“ with clinical rotations and hands-on experience in modern practices equipped with innovative technology.
- Structured Onboarding: New employees receive a welcome package, access to a dedicated employee app, and a clear integration plan even before their first day.
- Continuing Education: Participants benefit from the network’s internal academy, offering specialized seminars (e.g., in surgery or diagnostics) to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and clinical routine.
- Community & Networking: Being part of a nationwide network allows for regular knowledge exchange with peers and specialists across different locations.
- Work-Life Balance: The program emphasizes sustainable working conditions, including family-friendly hours and a supportive team environment.
The program is aimed at recently graduated veterinarians (frisch approbiert) looking for a secure and supportive environment to start their career in Germany, as well as students looking for internships or clinical placements.
Paid Internship Program
The website highlights that Tierarzt Plus Partner offers various internship opportunities for veterinary students and pupils to gain hands-on experience in a professional clinical environment.
Key Features of the Internship Program:
- Individualized Support: Interns are integrated into the daily routine of the practices and clinics, receiving guidance from experienced veterinarians and veterinary assistants (TFAs).
- Clinical Exposure: Depending on the level of experience, interns can observe and assist in consultations, diagnostics (X-ray, ultrasound, lab work), and surgical procedures.
- Network Benefits: Interns benefit from the network’s high standards and modern equipment, gaining insights into how a professional veterinary network operates.
- Flexible Durations: The program accommodates different types of internships, including:
- Student Internships (Schülerpraktikum): For career orientation.
- Mandatory Internships (Pflichtpraktikum): As part of the veterinary medicine curriculum (e.g., „Großes“ or „Kleines“ Praktikum).
- Voluntary Internships: For students who want to deepen their practical skills during semester breaks.
- Perspective: A successful internship often serves as a „stepping stone“ for a future career within the network, such as the Graduate Program.
The network aims to inspire the next generation of veterinarians by providing a welcoming, structured, and high-quality learning environment where practical skills are actively encouraged.
