Using the 'Think Protocol'

Jeffrey Backus, CVT, RVT, VTS (ECC), ER/ICU veterinary technician at Tufts University, says the "think protocol" really comes down to just critical thinking.

You always need to be thinking through what your patient is experiencing and what you're seeing on lab values, and then putting that into words and thinking out loud. Veterinary professionals should be thinking critically and trying to anticipate what is going to be required next for each patient.
