But now she enjoys her job, with only one exception. Another veterinary technician at the College, Kristi Stasi, became a veterinary technician because it gave her the opportunity to combine her love of animals and medicine in a challenging career. I look at it like it's a huge puzzle. Something comes in and you only get a few pieces. As tests come back you hear more and more information until the problem is solved.
Veterinary technicians are a part of solving that puzzle.
Stasi stresses that you must expect to deal with people as a veterinary technician. For every animal that comes in, a family come in, so you really should like to work with people. Some people would rather ask us questions than ask a veterinarian. Sometimes we explain a procedure or just let the client know that we and the doctors are going to do everything we can to make sure their animal gets the best care possible. Veterinary technicians at the College work a lot with veterinary students.
