Your Impact as a Credentialed Surgery Veterinary Technician

Note: The Credentialed Veterinary Technician title is used in various states based on state-specific licensing and credentialing requirements. Responsibilities may vary depending on the hospital and/or state and will be outlined by the state's Veterinary Practice Act and/or the responsible veterinarian, where applicable.

• Lead Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring: You'll induce, maintain, and monitor patients under general anesthesia, continuously assessing vital parameters and adjusting anesthetic depth as needed—recognizing changes in patient status and escalating concerns to the surgeon promptly.
• Ensure Precise Drug Calculation and Administration: You'll accurately calculate, prepare, and administer anesthetic agents, analgesics, emergency drugs, and other medications, ensuring precise dosing tailored to each patient.
• Master Surgical Assisting and Sterile Technique: You'll assist surgeons during procedures, maintain strict aseptic and sterile techniques, manage instruments, and anticipate the needs of the surgical team throughout each case.
• Perform Phlebotomy and Diagnostics: You'll perform venipuncture and collect samples for laboratory analysis, place IV catheters, take radiographs, and assist with the interpretation and documentation of diagnostic findings.
• Provide Post-Operative and Critical Care: You'll manage patient recovery, monitor for post-surgical complications, administer pain management protocols, and provide attentive, compassionate care to patients who may be critically ill or in pain.
• Create a Positive Client Experience: You'll discharge patients, review post-surgical treatment plans, incision care, and follow-up instructions with clients, and support client service operations as needed.
• Drive Operational Excellence and Mentorship: You'll accurately maintain medical records, prescriptions, and controlled drug logs using our computer systems, ensure surgical readiness between procedures, and help train and mentor veterinary assistants and new teammates.
