Vet Tech Taproom - Episode 39

The Vet Tech Cafe"s Podcast ·

2024/02/26

Caffeinators, it's time for our monthly checkin from the Vet Tech Taproom. Have you checked in with yourself lately? We got together to discuss a couple things for this episode, mostly what happens when an owner has a bad experience or negative outcome at the hospital and threatens to go "public"-meaning social media or the news? How do you or your hospital respond? We give our analysis of what we see happen most frequently, and then openly discuss what we think should happen. What do you think? We

2024/02/19

Caffeinators, fasten your safety belt because this episode is taking from the US to British Columbia, to Ontario, Canada, to India. Yah. Recently, Marina John, Vice President of the British Columbia Veterinary Technologists Association reached out to us and we had a discussion about soooo many important topics ranging from title protection, association work, charity work, involvement, and boundaries, and acupuncture, and just so much more! She also talks about this importance of representation in

Vet Tech Cafe - Ralia Cortinas Episode

2024/02/05

Caffeinators, we need more personality in our field. We need young minds and fresh faces with big goals to grow into the roles many of us currently occupy, and Ralia Cortinas may just be one of those people that checks those boxes. Ralia is currently a student in the Distance Learning program through Purdue University, but the credentialing process is clearly very important to her. We talk a lot about her being an OJT assistant in Texas and some of her DVM colleagues views of that, while also

Vet Tech Cafe - Sydney Hoevet Episode

The Vet Tech Cafe"s Podcast ·

2024/01/22

Caffeinators, we talk about veterinary technician education all the time, but we don't often get to talk to the stakeholders-the students. Our next two episodes focus on that. First up is Sydney Hoevet, a student in the vet tech program at Portland Community College. It's always refreshing to look at our profession through fresh, less jaded eyes than our own. It's also really nice to hear the profession seems to be in good hands going forward. In this episode, we talk about a common link between

2024/01/08

Caffeinators, are you a Veterinary Anesthesia Nerd? If so, you'll love this episode with the final part of the trifecta that is the Veterinary Anesthesia Nerds, Darci Palmer. We ran into Darci at IVECCS and pitched the idea of her being a guest and thankfully she obliged because this is an awesome episode. Darci currently works in Anesthesia at Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine, and that's where much of our discussion lies-veterinary education. But it doesn't stop there. She runs

In this episode, we discuss the recent AAVSB changes for the VTNE administration as well as a study published in the November JAVMA issue for which our good friend, Dr. Andy Roark, was a contributing author. We also look ahead to 2024. This is bit of a longer taproom, but these two topics we were quite passionate about. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

2023/12/25

Caffeinators. We know you love the Vet Tech Without Scrubs pages and the content that Adrienne Kruzer puts out. We do too. Adrienne was suggested to us by several previous guests as someone we should talk to. We ran into her at IVECCS and we barely had to ask and she was in to come join us for a discussion. This is a wide-ranging discussion chronicling her career, Vet Tech Without Scrubs, the South Carolina Association of Veterinary Technicians and Association work, Veterinary Emergency Group where

Caffeinators, grab your passports because we're going back across the pond! For this episode, we sit down with Sieske Valk. Sieske reached out to us to talk about her business venture Autumn Animals, which specializes in at home applicative and hospice care. We discuss what hospice and palliative care look like both in the UK and the US, and how as a profession we aren't meeting these needs. Sieske has been an entrepreneur throughout her career in veterinary medicine and we talk about her path from

Vet Tech Cafe - Bill Wade Episode

The Vet Tech Cafe"s Podcast ·

2023/11/27

Hey Caffeinators!We're back to our regularly scheduled programming! We had some scheduling issues getting this episode recorded as it was supposed to be released on Veteran's Day here in the US. Why Veteran's Day, you ask? Because that's really the focus of this episode. Bill Wade started in the US Air Force in the 1970's, transferred to the US Army in the 1980's and worked as a veterinary technician all those years! He also was in organizational leadership as well, and at two separate times was

2023/11/20

Hey Caffeinators, welcome back to another episode of ... the Veterinary Viewfinder?! That's right! If you've been listening to us the last few months, and the Veterinary Viewfinder podcast as well, we've both been dropping nuggets back and forth about how we handle all their complaints and they record in our basement and pick up your tab in the Taproom. It's all in good fun as they have been so kind and helpful to us over the years with advice and honestly just a good model to follow on how to do

Vet Tech Cafe - Dani Provost Episode 2

The Vet Tech Cafe"s Podcast ·

2023/10/30

Caffeinators, this is a bit of a heavy topic. By and large, our field has been immune to layoffs. That's not to say they haven't happened in the past, but certainly not by the hundreds or thousands we've seen major companies go through. This episode is focused on layoffs. Dani was a trainer for a corporation, a role that was created specifically for her that she thrived in, and was recently told her position had been eliminated. WHAT?! Could you imagine your path to processing such a thing? That's

Happy Vet Tech Week, Caffeinators! What does that mean anymore? We delve into a couple of recent nuggets of content we've come across and have a discussion about those, and what we'd like to see. What does Vet Tech Week look like for you? Does your hospital celebrate Vet Tech Week and the days and weeks set aside for the other vital members of our teams, such as CSR's, assistants, bossed, etc? Or is it largely a staff appreciation week? How do you feel about all of it? We'd love to hear from you

Caffeinators, it's mid-October and that means it's an Anniversary here at the Vet Tech Cafe. We're celebrating our 4th complete year-can you believe it? We thought we'd be lucky if we put out 10 episodes, but here we are still going strong because of YOU and all of our amazing guests. It also means we get to chat with Liz Hughston again! This episode is extra special, because we recorded it LIVE with her at IVECCS in Denver last month! You'll hear some different sounds as we were literally in a

Vet Tech Cafe - Tia Gregorio Episode

The Vet Tech Cafe"s Podcast ·

2023/10/02

Caffeinators, we are in the era of corporatization in veterinary medicine. Maybe you've already experienced working in a hospital that was bought by a corporation, maybe you're going through that process now, or maybe you haven't but chances are you probably will at some point. That is the focus of this episode. Tia Gregorio recently joined us at the Vet Tech Cafe to talk about corporate merging from the support staff side. Tia is a CVT and hospital manager, but also holds an MBA and a doctorate in

2023/09/18

Caffeinators, you've heard us before say some of our favorite episodes are when listeners reach out to us with an idea and it turns it to an episode, often because it's something we hadn't thought of before or someone doing something awesome that we didn't know! That last part sums up this episode. Paige Allen, MS, RVT, wrote to us about some of the cool stuff she's doing IN RETIREMENT and we had to talk to her about that! Yes, she RETIRED as a veterinary technician from Purdue University and part

Caffeinators, this is a big one. Remember recently when we shared the Op-Ed Stephen Cital wrote about the position of the AVMA and their unwillingness to expand the scope of practice for veterinary technicians? Do you remember when we shared his recent post about his new business venture-Remedy Veterinary Specialists that he's starting with Dr. Carrie Jurney? Well, good news! They both came by the Vet Tech Cafe recently to talk about all of this. There's some really great info in here about the

Caffeinators, have you ever peaked over the clinic fence and wondered what is out there in the great beyond? If you've been listening in, you know we've done several episodes about being a veterinary technician outside of the clinical setting, but staying under the veterinary medicine umbrella-and this is another one of those episodes! We recently met Kate Howard, LVT at the Vet Tech Cafe and talked about her path through vet med, mental health struggles, and how those led her down a different path
