Caffeinators, have we got a discussion for you! You may remember when we interviewed Dr. Andy Roark, his suggestion for a future guest was Melissa Entrekin, and she was gracious enough to join us at the Vet Tech Cafe for some wonderful discussion about our profession. This is a wide-ranging episode, from state association work to vet tech education to life in this field overall. There's a lot to unpack in this one, and we could've easily continued this discussion for hours-which only means we'll have to have her back on the show at some point. Oh! And, she was the 2021 NAVTA Vet Tech of the Year, which means we've had both recipients of the award on our podcast already in 2023!
