Vet Tech Cafe - Teri Kleist Episode

<p>Happy New Year, Caffeinators! There are episodes of the Vet Tech Cafe that we plan and plan and plan, and there are those that just come together and the conversation flows better than we could've imagined. Our next episode with Teri Kleist, CVT, VTS(Surgery) is more the latter. We "met" Teri two days before we recorded but the conversation was as though we'd known her the duration of our careers! As we aim to spotlight all of the VTS academies, we finally got to talk to Teri with an assist from Heidi Reuss-Lamky. Teri is a past President of NAVTA, has done all sorts of committee and organizational work in our field, but she's also a charter member of the AVST and that's where we focused our discussion. After 40 years, she retired from clinical practice in late 2021, but is still very active. We learned about the formation of AVST, the application process, and what a surgical technician does and we found it all very eye-opening. We know it's cold outside, but it's comfortable in here, we have lots of beverages to warm you up, so let us pour you something great and bring you into the discussion. We think you'll like this one!</p> <p>Vet Tech Cafe Links:</p> <p>Follow us on Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/vettechcafe'>https://www.facebook.com/vettechcafe</a></p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/vettechcafepodcast'>https://www.instagram.com/vettechcafepodcast</a></p> <p>Like and Subscribe on YouTube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMDTKdfOaqSW0Mv3Uoi33qg'>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMDTKdfOaqSW0Mv3Uoi33qg </a></p> <p>Our website: <a href='https://www.vettechcafe.com/'>https://www.vettechcafe.com/</a></p> <p>Vet Tech Cafe Merch: <a href='https://www.vettechcafe.com/merch'>https://www.vettechcafe.com/merch</a></p> <p>If you would like to help us cover our podcast expenses, we'd appreciate any support you give through Patreon.
