• Knowledgeable about common disease states and able to alert veterinarians to changes in patient conditions.
• Able to work under pressure, in new environments
• Interested in growing your skillset and learning new things
• Someone who believes in welcoming clients into the medical process by educating, supporting, comforting, and treating them as individuals
