    Vet Tech Cafe - April Bays Episode 2

    Caffeinators, if you've been following us for a while, you may remember an episode from FIVE years ago with April F. Bays. Well, she has left the profession, and we focus this episode on the why and the what now. We've long avoided this topic because we didn't want to be seen as "encouraging" people to leave the field. But for some, that may be the last option to save their sanity. We see lots of discussion surrounding the ideas that "you'll have to start at the bottom" or "none of my skills are transferrable", etc. Some of that may be correct, some not so much. You were trained once, and you can be again. AND, the top of our field may just be entry level somewhere else. Tune in with an open mind and let us know what you think!  Our Links: Check out our sponsor https://betterhelp.com/vettechcafe for 10% off your first month of therapy Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vettechcafe Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vettechcafepodcast Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vet-tech-cafe Like and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMDTKdfOaqSW0Mv3Uoi33qg Our website: https://www.vettechcafe.com/ Vet Tech Cafe Merch: https://www.vettechcafe.com/merch If you would like to help us cover our podcast expenses, we'd appreciate any support you give through Patreon.

    Vet Tech Cafe - Miklos Roth Episode

    Caffeinators, get in we're going to Budapest! You know we love to talk about veterinary medicine around the world. At our last staff meeting, we went through the AVECCTN membership list and reached out to everyone that works in a country we hadn't featured yet. Miklós Róth from Hungary was the first to write back and what a fun conversation this is. We talked about what vet med looks like in Hungary, his mentor who is the lone specialist veterinarian in the country, lack of formal education, all of it. Miki shared with us how he built his knowledge and skills base by traveling to other countries to learn, and also how he discovered becoming a VTS and what that process looked like and the difficulties he encountered-spoiler alert, he wrote 75 CASE REPORTS. You've got to hear his story!

    Vet Tech Cafe - Carolyn Tai Episode

    Caffeinators, get ready to get your nerd on for this one. Carolyn Tai recently came by the Vet Tech Cafe. She's a double-boarded VTS in ECC and SAIM, and is a dialysis technician at the veterinary school at Tufts University. We talked ALL things extracorporeal therapy. Dialysis, TPE, hemoperfusion, etc. She shared a few crazy cases she's worked on recently and what her role is in this setting and how she helps manage these patients, and data collection for research. Not very many technicians have access to that level veterinary care, let alone ever work on a patient that needs it, but this is her every day. It was another fascinating discussion around all the cool things we can do as veterinary technicians.    Our Links: Check out our sponsor https://betterhelp.com/vettechcafe for 10% off your first month of therapy Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vettechcafe Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vettechcafepodcast Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vet-tech-cafe Like and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMDTKdfOaqSW0Mv3Uoi33qg Our website: https://www.vettechcafe.com/ Vet Tech Cafe Merch: https://www.vettechcafe.com/merch If you would like to help us cover our podcast expenses, we'd appreciate any support you give through Patreon.

    Vet Tech Cafe - Barb Deg Episode

    Caffeinators, grab your poutine and a cup of Tim Horton's because we're going back north of the border! Barb Deg recently came by the Vet Tech Cafe, and her journey through vet med alone is worth the price of admission, but then we talked all things behavior and scent dogs, and so much more cool stuff. She has her own behavior consulting business and we talk about what all is involved in that, training scent dogs-SPOILER ALERT she trained a bed bug scent dog!!-and so much more. Don't miss it!
