At my veterinary internship, technology is an essential part of each day.  Whether it is contacting clients, performing surgery, or keeping records during appointments, technology is utilized.  Computers are used in many ways, one of which is scheduling.  On every computer there is a program that has a schedule each day.  This includes when each client has been scheduled, as well as which technician and doctor will be managing that appointment.  Another way computers are utilized is the processing and organization of patient information.  In a veterinary clinic, it is essential to have the information of owners, as well as past medical history for pets.  Computers help the organization of this layered information, as well as allow for quick access during appointments or otherwise.  One software I found particularly interesting was used for medicine calculations.  For each surgery, depending on the species and weight of pets, different amounts of various medications are needed.  By putting in the weight and species of the animal into a simple program, the medications are automatically calculated.  Aside from computers, there are also many interesting ways technology is used.  For example, there is a machine for blood work that will run multiple tests in a matter of minutes, ensuring pets are healthy enough for surgery.  Technology is also used to weigh pets, take temperatures, perform dental work, surgeries, and sanitize equipment.  In this medical setting, technology has become a very important and useful tool, utilized throughout each day.  Nebo School District CTE Internships Christine Thomas #nebointerns #nebo #cteinternships #cteintern #MMHS #mmhsintern #internships #veterinary #science

Do you know an aspiring veterinarian? This guide breaks down the value of pre-vet internships, with tips for high schoolers on finding opportunities in the US and abroad. #VeterinaryMedicine #HighSchoolStudents #CareerDevelopment

Both my veterinary assistant class and my animal science classes have been very helpful with developing the skills I need to pursue my dream job of becoming a veterinarian. One skill I acquired from my veterinary assistant class was being very detail oriented. For example in this class we learned the difference between intravenous injection and an intramuscular injection. Now, they may not sound that different but they make all the difference when it comes to actually giving these injections. This is something I have witnessed many times at the Nebo Animal Clinic. Most vaccines are injected intramuscular which means they don't pump the injection into the blood stream. Intravenous can be used for many other things and you have to take the time to find a vane and pump the injection into the blood stream. Compassion is another very important skill to have when doing this job. Even before I started taking my CTE classes I developed so much love and compassion to become a veterinarian in my future. Taking CTE classes like animal science and veterinary assisting only expanded my love and compassion for this career choice. And even now with this internship I look forward to going and I am so involved with everything going on at the vet clinic my compassion for this career only grows with time. Communication skills are very very important skills in this career path and although I am still working on improving this skill I can say it has gotten so much better than it was before my CTE classes. Animal science and veterinary assisting have really made me start to develop my communication skills and try to use them more in my everyday life. My communication skills could still use some improvement but this internship and the classes I am taking have really really helped and all this help can also only make my communication skills go up from here. #nebointerns #utahcteinternships #internships #shhsinterns

Did you know I was suppose to be a veterinarian? I had worked as a Vet Tech since I was 12 at our family friends vet clinic, animals were my life. In my senior year at university before entering into veterinary school I became very ill, and as a result I developed a severe allergy to cats and many dogs. My career plans had to change, and I needed a new job too! A recent interview process required me to go through my entire working career with them, and one of the interviewers asked me why I changed career paths, and why I chose tech, the why I had to change is easy to tell. Why choose tech though? Tech chose me, I suppose. I had worked to network together the veterinarians three different offices so they could share information, researched the best way to get it done, and I also trained everyone else how to use the new system. I had no real training in tech, and this was before Google and Youtube, so I had to be creative. The skills I learned and developed there doing what was improbable, but not impossible, have been the foundation and guiding principals for my life ever since. These are the skills I have used throughout my career: - Research and learn, find new ways to get things done. - Be teachable, and then you can teach others. - There are multiple ways to get things done, be flexible. - Everything changes, and the more knowledge you have allows you to adapt to these changes quickly. - Cats LOVE keyboards. - Technology always advances, sometimes the cutting edge works, and other times its best to wait a bit. - Sometimes there is no better sounds than a modem initiating the handshake tone. As many of us in Tech continue to look for our next opportunity and continue to fight the good fight, I am so grateful for the reflection that has been forced upon me by interviewers and other circumstances that help me realize that life is is journey, the skills we develop started long ago, and that we continue to grow those as we adapt, as well as share them with others. I am excited to build upon my skills and ready and raring to go to learn new ones. So is my "hypo-allergenic" dog, haha!

🐾 Exploring Routes to Specialism in the Veterinary Industry 🐾 According to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), there has been a 15% increase in veterinary specialists in the UK over the past five years (source: RCVS). The path to becoming a veterinary specialist is as diverse as it is rewarding. Whether you're drawn to surgery, cardiology, or exotic animal care, there are clear routes you can take to hone your skills and knowledge in these specialised fields. Firstly, gaining broad experience in general practice is invaluable. This can be done through rotating internships, allowing you to understand the basics in all fields, while identifying your areas of passion and special interest. From here, embarking on a specific internship is key, then moving to a residency programme can be a game-changer. Unlike the 12-month internships, these programmes often last 3 to 4 years and offer in-depth training under the guidance of experienced specialists. It's a chance to dive deeply into your chosen field, be it oncology, dermatology, or any other speciality. Networking and ongoing education are also key. Attending industry conferences, joining specialist groups, and connecting with mentors can open doors and provide invaluable learning opportunities.

Technology is very important in a veterinary office, and is relied upon quite frequently.  Technology, however, doesn’t always function as intended, and manual skills must be at the ready.  This is something I learned more about this past week at my internship.  There are quite a few manual skills I learned how to perform, one of which is how to test blood.  When the blood work machine isn’t functioning properly, blood can be properly examined through a sample carefully spread on a microscope slide, and viewed under a microscope.  Preparing a blood slide was one skill I learned and practiced this week.  Another important skill is how to properly dose medications.  Some medications for surgery can only be used on animals of a certain weight, and those under that weight limit must use a different medication.  This medication requires manual dosage, which is something I learned how to do.  To do this, the weight of an animal must be converted into kilograms, and the milligrams of medication per milliliter of solvent must be taken into account.  This information can be used to give the animal the correct amount of medication in milligrams per kilogram.  While these skills might not be necessary on a daily basis, in the case of an emergency having these manual skills is essential.  I am enthusiastic to continue learning more and practicing these skills in the coming weeks.    Nebo School District CTE Internships Christine Thomas  #nebointerns #nebo #cteinternships #cteintern #MMHS #mmhsintern #internships #veterinary #science

Technology is used in almost every aspect of the veterinary industry. Helping keep pet healthy and know what is going on with them before symptoms appear. I take interest in the incubator, it is made to keep pets warm after surgery. Many animals have issues with keeping their temperature while under anesthesia and while waking up from it. Incubators help a lot with regulating their temperature after anesthesia and keep a controlled environment for them to recover.
