Do we need my imposter syndrome meme? I look at this all the time:

Be a cat. A cat doesn't even care that they spelled imposter wrong. It's impostor now, get with it.✌️
I have this! Idk if it's the type of chart you're looking forHi,
Does anyone have a good pig diarrhea chart they may have made studying for NAVLE that why would be willing to share? I'm trying to find a good one but haven't had any luck yet. Thanks!
Depends on what you want in a job. If you know what you want for mentorship, ask questions to make sure they can provide that. How long your appointments would be to start, how many in a day, how many surgeries. Things that were important to me were no declaws, and a euthanasia policy that matched what I was comfortable with. Asking about some of their protocols too for stuff that matters to you (example: testicular blocks), how compliant their clients are.Hey all,
What are some questions i should be asking during interviews about the practices themselves? What are things that matter in day to day life/happiness? Questions like Dr/Tech ratios during shifts, if they will be leaving me alone right away, etc? I know that I will get a feel for clinics/personalities better when I visit in person, but I need some good questions for the "pre-inteviews" prior to visiting. Thanks to anyone with ideas!
I will second asking directly about what matters to you. My biggies were appt length and support staff to doc ratio. I had a job offer for 20k more and half a day less per week than what I currently have. The hang ups? 15 minute wellness and 30 minute sick appts. The pay cut and increased hours was totally worth it to be able to have 30-40 minute appts cause I like to talk about *everything* with my clients as well as have enough time to do records at the hospital. Both offers were with a corporate.Hey all,

Oh I thought of another thing. Ask what CE they would recommend for a new grad. My boss had a dental course she recommended to me right away, and she’s been super supportive about professional growth.Hey all,

I’m surprised that’s still even a real website. My friend met her husband on that website ten years ago.If you client has been denied for CareCredit or Scratchpay, the free dating app Plenty of Fish is apparently an option to pay for treatment.
What parasite?When your nice routine day turns into porcupines, perforated corneas, and a parasite rare enough that even the internist you called to ask questions has never heard of it...

I have seen baylisascaris in the eye, but I really wanna see some Loa loa.What parasite?

Well I guess when you preface with porcupines... lolWho's perfing eyeballs???

They are not - in fact, hedgehogs aren't even rodents.Are hedgehogs related? Whats that neuro disease they are prone to get with balance and early death? My brother got one, I had to take care of it for a few weeks, and it deterioated and died in just a few days
I had a client bring her dog's lens in a cup last week... can't say I've had that happen before.Well I guess when you preface with porcupines... lol

Nah they just had no idea what tf happened and figured if it came out of their animal they should probably bring it with them....did they think you could put it back?
4 months is plenty of time to know if you’re happy with a job. The big question is whether it’s GP in general that’s the issue, or practice-specific problems.I've been low key considering leaving GP for a few weeks now. I find myself looking at positions with Caring Pathways, the government, or in academia again. I've been sticking it out because I'm not sure if 4 months is long enough to know if I feel comfortable or not in my specific GP practice.
I think its more GP specific than the practice itself (secondary facility where we do GP, sick appts, and 24/7/365 ER; lots of resources and support tbh). I just don't really want to manage the long term diabetics/cushings/etc. Euthanasias don't bother me (at this point). I'm a people person, and I've had few clients that have actually really bothered me.The big question is whether it’s GP in general that’s the issue, or practice-specific problems.
I didn’t think a rotating was required? I have a good friend who is really interested in being boarded in behavior and they opted for a year in practice instead.I think its more GP specific than the practice itself (secondary facility where we do GP, sick appts, and 24/7/365 ER; lots of resources and support tbh).

I am connecting with a behavior-inclined GP who used to work here to focus more on behavior cases. As that gets rolling, I'm more inclined to do moreso behavior in my metro area because there aren't a lot of resources in the area. If a rotating internship wasn't required for getting boarded, I would strongly consider it.
The website says a rotating internship or equivalent. So if a year in practice would count, then I would be far more inclinedI didn’t think a rotating was required? I have a good friend who is really interested in being boarded in behavior and they opted for a year in practice instead.
Yeah, I think that they usually count a couple of years in practice as equivalent to a rotating, I think like 3 years? But also, does behavior have a practitioner track? Some specialties do, especially if they are more rare, and I think behavior has very few residencies in general just because it's a rarer specialty. Might be worth cold emailing a couple of specialists and picking their brainsThe website says a rotating internship or equivalent.

I'd definitely reach out. I can't even with how useless a standard year rotating internship would be compared to a year in GP when discussing behaviour...The website says a rotating internship or equivalent. So if a year in practice would count, then I would be far more inclined
They do to a certain extent. You mentor under a boarded behaviorist for x number of cases. Still publish papers and sit the exam.But also, does behavior have a practitioner track?
So simply email the board group to ask?I'd definitely reach out. I can't even with how useless a standard year rotating internship would be compared to a year in GP when discussing behaviour...
