  • Perform basic laboratory tasks , such as setting up samples for testing and collecting vital patient data under the guidance of a technician or veterinarian.
  • Collaborate with emergency technicians and doctors , sharing crucial updates and contributing to an efficient, team-oriented work environment.
  • We don’t just get through the workday; we embrace the challenges and triumphs that come with providing emergency care. You’ll be surrounded by professionals who share your commitment to excellence and a genuine passion for animal welfare.
