Caffeinators-are you ready?! If you're at all active on social media, you're familiar with Dr. Andy Roark. Be it for Uncharted, the Cone of Shame podcast, or just his funny posts, if you've found us, you're probably familiar with him. We don't interview many veterinarians at the Vet Tech Cafe, and there's a reason for that. We want to discuss issues in OUR field with leaders IN our field. There are occasions though when those issues may involve DVM's and that's where this episode stems from. We all know Dr. Andy Roark highly values his entire veterinary team, including his veterinary technicians. In this episode, we found out why that is and why it's important to him to educate his DVM colleagues about it, why technician utilization is so important to him, and how it can really benefit his colleagues, but then we also discuss how to build the trust in that relationship from our side. Because let's be real-just because we are credentialed technicians don't mean DVM's should trust us to do everything on our first day. We certainly don't trust brand-new DVM's in that manner, do we? This is a very wide-ranging episode with loads of golden nuggets sprinkled throughout. We really think you'll enjoy this one!
