The Medical Field Of The Veterinary Field

Eight years is a long time to go to school to be an equine veterinarian, but it offers a lifetime of saving horses. True one has to go to a college or university for eight plus years to become an equine veterinarian, but it all pays off in the end. It does not pay in money, but knowing that one saves a horses life, or can make their life better. This is what Charlie Scoggin was trying to say when he said “In my opinion, a salary should not be the sole means for deciding upon a job. You have to look at the big picture.” (Charlie Scoggin Resident veterinarian Rood and Riddle equine hospital). Equine veterinary medicine is not just about making money, but helping horses heal, recover, and live a better

Do you ever get a sore throat? Feel sick or hurt yourself ? Well, we tell our parents and go to the doctors. Unlike us, animals can’t tell us when they’re sick, so vets have to check for them, to if they are sick or injured.

The research will describe the career of veterinary technician, what is required to become a successful veterinary technician, and the impacts this career has on today 's society.

Veterinary Technology is a bachelors of science degree within the department of Animal Sciences. Veterinary Technologist aid in assisting veterinarians in diagnosing illnesses and injuries of animals. Communication is an essential part in the work environment of a veterinary technologist and plays a vital role in the professional success of hospitals around the world. Numerous genres of communication are present in veterinary technology.

This report will go more in depth of how these three genres of communication are incorporated in veterinary technology.

I chose the career of a Vet Technician. This job is often confused with the veterinarian or veterinary technologist. These two fields are totally different than a vet technician. Veterinarian required eight years of schooling, where the Veterinary technologist requires a bachelor degree in applied science. The job of an veterinary technician is to provide nursing care and assist surgeries for animals. Think of it as a human nurse, and a doctor, the vet tech assist the veterinarian in diagnosing illness and injuries. Some other jobs a veterinary technician might have would be preparing an animal for a surgery like a scrub with germicidal soap, sterilizing the surgical utensils, setting up a room

A house is purposeless without a sturdy foundation to build upon and is promised to fall without it. Computer software is the foundation of every vet practice and is the heart of their good name and clientele. Many veterinary practices and hospitals currently use technology and computers for everyday business involvement and dealings , and computer software organizations are unceasingly progressing and enhancing programs for veterinary medicine utilization. Displaying and sharing accurate knowledge of computers and its software technology is a necessity for all veterinary staff including the front desk receptionists, managers, veterinarians, their technicians and assistants and even the kennel wardens.

My primary motivation to become a registered veterinary technician is to learn and do more in the field of animal care. My experience working directly with animals has been incredibly rewarding. More than anything, it has shown me how important attention to detail and the most basic tasks can be. I have developed a healthy respect for the often tedious and demanding labor that is required to keep animals healthy and happy and I am quite comfortable taking on these duties, but I feel ready to do more.

Employment opportunities for veterinarians are expected to grow for all veterinary related occupations. Rising incomes, education, and the movement of baby boomers is expected to raise the percent of household pets. Single adults and senior citizens have come to appreciate animal companionship more than in the past. Pet owners are more willing to pay for more elective and intensive care than before. Emphasis on scientific methods of breeding and raising livestock, poultry, and fish, and continued support for public health and disease control programs will contribute to the demand for veterinarians. The employment outlook is especially good for veterinarians with specialty training such as equine medicine and surgery.

Recently, a Golden Retriever presenting with labored breathing and a distended abdomen came into my clinic. After some diagnostics the veterinarian concluded she was either suffering from right-sided heart failure or a tumor, causing an enlarged liver and abdominal edema. Unfortunately, the dog was euthanized and a necropsy was performed to confirm a diagnosis of tumors on the right side of the heart and vena cava. I realize that it is experiences like this that expand my interest in the veterinary field as I become more involved. In this situation I wanted to know more about how the tumors formed and what treatments would have been possible. I not only have a love for medicine and animals, but also a curiosity for the things I see and the underlying mechanics of it all. I did not fully realize until I started working in veterinary clinics in college how my curiosity and ability to think critically would grow my love for the field and solidify my commitment to becoming a veterinarian.

The veterinary industry is rapidly evolving with large increases in the need for current technology. This applies to all aspects of the field, but most commonly recognized in the area of practice management. The development of practice management software allows financial and medical data, staff and patient scheduling, inventory, and other information to be easily stored (Downing, Sirois, & Thomas 2016). There are many software programs available today with options for every type of practice. Three different software programs will be discussed in the following pages: VIA Information Systems, Idexx Neo, and Onward Vet.
