You have exceptional verbal and written communication skills, knowledge of medical terminology, with a knack for handling sensitive client updates and financial conversations with compassion and clarity.
You know your way around a computer. Familiarity with (or a quick ability to learn) ezyVet, SmartFlow, Vet Rocket, and Vet CT is highly preferred. Familiarity with reference labs (eg Idexx and Antech) and online pharmacies (eg. Vetsource and Chewy) is a major plus!
