On this episode of the Vet Tech Cafe, Dave and Jeff interview David Liss.  David has an incredibly rich and diverse background in the field of veterinary technology. David holds an Associate’s Degree in Veterinary Technology, a Bachelor’s in Sociology, and a Master’s in Biomedical Science.  He is double boarded in emergency/critical care and small animal internal medicine. He has a diverse background in emergency and critical care nursing in addition to being a certified veterinary practice manager (CVPM) and professional in human resources (PHR). David currently is the director of operations for Amerivet in Los Angeles, and runs his own consulting business: Veterinary Training and Consulting, Inc.

We had a great discussion about the abstracts that were announced recently looking at burnout and medical errors.  David now being on the management side had some great ideas and thoughts on how we can improve these things.  His experience as both a technician and as a hospital manager gives him a unique perspective on how veterinary teams interact and grow together.  We also talked about veterinary technician education and how we can advance our profession.  Hope you enjoy this episode!
