Veterinary Assistant
Started this job as a customer service coordinator scheduling appointments, handling phones with multiple lines open, communicating with techs and doctors. In this role I would triage pets over the phone for appointments and again in further detail during check-in. I then started on the job training in the back after about 3 months by restraining pets, setting up exam rooms, preparing vaccines, instruments for blood sampling and anything else that was needed for a specific appointment. This then progressed to taking on full appointments with DMVs, administering vaccines and medications that were in my allowance as an assistant, collecting samples, and discharging pets after procedures.
