BONUS EPISODE: COVID-19 Collaboration Episode
Wednesday Mar 25, 2020
Wednesday Mar 25, 2020
This episode of the Vet Tech Café is a bit different. This episode is the collaborative effort of 5 different veterinary podcasts: The Vet Tech Café, Veterinary Anesthesia Nerds, Radio Vet Nurse, Two Vets Talk Pets, and this was all coordinated and edited by the Internal Medicine for Vet Techs Podcast. In this episode, the 8 individuals that make up these 5 podcasts discuss what exactly what COVID-19 is, how it works, and our own individual experiences with dealing with this virus, in terms of how our hospitals are operating. We also discuss how to find reliable information and some strategies to combat the mental health related side effects of being on the front lines. It is our hope that nobody listening to this podcast is or becomes directly affected by this virus, but we hope to provide useful information and a bit of a respite from this difficult time.

Sunday Mar 01, 2020
In this episode of the Vet Tech Taproom, we dive into the current hot topic of the VNI and the petition that is making the rounds on social media asking for NAVTA to re-evaluate it's efforts. We realize this may be a very controversial topic, but please understand that we are not trying to advocate for one side over the other in this discussion. We are simply trying to discuss the issues and bring them to light. If there's something we say in this episode that you think we are wrong about, please please please contact us either on our FB page, IG account, Twitter, or by our email vettechcafe@gmail.com. We would love to continue this discussion beyond just this episode.
