Vet Tech Cafe - Alexandra Yaksich Episode

51 minutes

For most of our episodes for the Vet Tech Cafe, we reach out to a specific guest to discuss a certain issue in our field, or highlight a particular area of it. For other episodes, a guest might reach out to us, and the conversation grows more organically. That's exactly what happened for our latest episode with Alexandra Yaksich, BSc, AHT. Alex reached out to us recently to let us know she wanted to mention our podcast in an upcoming article she was writing for Veterinary Practice News about compassion fatigue. Naturally, we wanted to know more about this, and discovered a large portion of her career currently is writing about trends in the veterinary industry. Additionally, she is leading a campaign in her native Quebec to ban declawing in cats! This is exactly what we strive to highlight on the Vet Tech Cafe-veterinary technicians who are driving and leading change in our field. We really hope you'll join us for this fascinating discussion! Some of Alex's other recent articles are linked below. She also has a professional relationship with Euthabag, a purpose-built body bag as an alternative to a standard plastic trash bag. You can find out more about them below!
