A Week in Life as a Veterinarian Assistant| Pre-Vet Work Experience Before Getting into Vet School
Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel! My name is Lora, and I am currently studying Veterinarian Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Prior to the start of my first semester, I have been working at this small animal clinic for 2 years after graduating from the Zoology program at the University of Guelph (Canada) in 2020.
The clinic that I worked at has one veterinarian, one vet technician, 3 full-time and 2 part-time vet assistants. I worked both as a vet assistant and receptionist because of the clinic size.
I hope you enjoy this video and get to know a bit more about this profession. It is a hard but rewarding job!

Were you able to get the job with no certificate? I feel like the job listings always need you to have the experience already :(

@@fatimakhdj I do work experience for school. This is where instead of going to classes, I need to go to a vet clinic for expierience which also counts for my grade so I don't need a certificate for this as it is just to learn. I also don't get payed but I do just work as a full time assistent. I will be doing this for 2 months and if I do good I will pass for my year!
Great 👍👍 From Nepal Vet Assistant..

Thanks for sharing! I’m also working in a small animal clinic to gain experience before applying to vet school this summer! I’m also gonna start in an ER clinic next month. I’m nervous I won’t get in on the first round but I’m trying to stay hopeful. Did you apply multiple times?

Don’t worry! I applied multiple times and It sucks to be rejected. But I learned from each rejection and worked on my weaknesses (e.g. rambling during interview). I wish you all the best in your application process!

Hi ❤
Can I work in a vet clinic without going to veterinary school? I won't have a degree in veterinary but I'm interested to work in a vet clinic . Can I be a vet assistant or something ?
Thanks for video! ❤ Looks like vet assistant and vet tech have similar jobs, can vet assistants administer vaccines?

In the US, assistants can do blood draws, give vaccines, SQ fluids, etc if approved by the vet
is there any Vet assistant programs that you would recommend for someone who doesn't have any prior experience

Hi there, are you in Canada? I know that there's Sheridan College offering Vet assistant program and my friend told me it was pretty good. Seneca also has it, but I don't know much about it. I found some info on the Sheridan College Webpage: www.sheridancollege.ca/programs/animal-care?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwvilBhCFARIsADvYi7LjvFr237LGnzeDC8suK7DJpVTfuq2_ZLBxVuprN_zwKyK_CozspzUaAvRMEALw_wcB Hope it helps!
How did you get the job as a vet assistant? Are you certified?

I volunteered in that clinic for 3 years. Then I got hired after graduation while I was applying for vet school. I’m not a certified vet assistant 😊

@@ayeshaahmed7083 You could send your resume and apply for vet assistant jobs around the area you are going to live in. I used Indeed for job searching, you could upload your resume there and apply for multiple jobs at one go :)
