• Master Surgical Assisting and Sterile Technique: You'll assist surgeons during procedures, maintain strict aseptic and sterile techniques, manage instruments, and anticipate the needs of the surgical team throughout each case.
• Perform Phlebotomy and Diagnostics: You'll perform venipuncture and collect samples for laboratory analysis, place IV catheters, take radiographs, and assist with the interpretation and documentation of diagnostic findings.
• Provide Post-Operative and Critical Care: You'll manage patient recovery, monitor for post-surgical complications, administer pain management protocols, and provide attentive, compassionate care to patients who may be critically ill or in pain.
• Create a Positive Client Experience: You'll discharge patients, review post-surgical treatment plans, incision care, and follow-up instructions with clients, and support client service operations as needed.
• Drive Operational Excellence and Mentorship: You'll accurately maintain medical records, prescriptions, and controlled drug logs using our computer systems, ensure surgical readiness between procedures, and help train and mentor veterinary assistants and new teammates.
