Mele Kalikimaka, Caffeinators! We hope you're having a wonderful holiday season. We're really excited to bring you our next episode with Sam Geiling, RVT. Sam has accomplished some pretty incredible things in the veterinary technician profession in Hawaii. Since moving there several years ago, she has created the only AVMA-accredited technician program in the state and still teaches there. Additionally, she created, and still works with, the Hawaiian Veterinary Technician Association, HVTA. We chatted with her recently about those endeavors, and also about her current project she's working on getting off the ground called Vet Med Masterminds. She hopes this group will be a means to help bring ideas into action and create meaningful change in the veterinary technician space. You can check out the website and join the Facebook group at the links below, and for our Hawaii Caffeinators, you can click below to visit the HVTA page to become a member today! Aloha!

Vet Tech Taproom Episode 16

In this episode of the Vet Tech Taproom we discuss the American Association of Critical Care Nurses standards for healthy work environments. These are human nurses that came up with this set of standards, but they are very relatable to the veterinary field.

Vet Tech Cafe - Harold Davis Episode
Sunday Dec 12, 2021
Sunday Dec 12, 2021
Our guest today is someone who could be considered a pioneer for many of us in the industry.
Harold Davis, Jr., RVT, VTS (ECC) (Anesth/Analgesia) sat down with us not too long ago and chatted about the development of the first VTS academies for ECC and Anesthesia. He was a charter member for both, and we took a deep dive into the formation of these academies. We wanted to know what the process looked like when there were no Facebook groups in which to communicate, how the process has evolved over the years, and we also wanted to know what the level of support or backlash was. As you can imagine, there was a bit of both. There are a lot of great stories in this one, but also a little bit of a "by looking back, how can we move forward?" flavor as well. Harold is now retired but continues to advocate and champion the profession in many ways. He still actively serves on various boards and committees serving the veterinary industry. This one is not to be missed-we hope you enjoy it!
