As an integral component of the veterinary healthcare team, you will learn interpretation of written prescriptions and the terminology associated with prescriptions, how to fill prescriptions accurately and enhance customer compliance by explaining how to administer medications. Veterinary assistants are often the primary staff in the set-up, collection, and client interaction regarding many standard diagnostic laboratory tests. Understanding the importance of accurate collection, set up, and maintenance of laboratory equipment is essential knowledge for assistants and your accuracy and attentiveness to these duties can drastically affect patient care. Each module in this three module series becomes increasingly more technical and provides new information, making all three modules a valuable learning resource for veterinary assistants.
