What core skills do you expect a new veterinary assistant to master in the first 30 days? I manage a two‑doctor small‑animal clinic (24 appointments/day on ezyVet) and I’m building a structured checklist for room turnover, sample handling, phone triage, and timely client updates — would you share what benchmarks or training sequence has worked for you?
VETgirl’s anesthesia monitoring + periop analgesia on‑demand series (https://vetgirlontherun.com/) gave us a simple “MAP–ETCO2–lactate” triad and a short PACU handoff; the biggest change was adding a 10‑min perfusion sweep q30min and a tiny ketamine CRI for ortho, which made handoffs feel less spaghetti. Building on @jthompson34, we set a temp target and only actively rewarm if <99°F to avoid overshoot — want the one‑pager we use?
