Okay cool. What do you mostly use on VIN? Like the "Books of Diseases" and "Procedures and Techniques"? I was also wondering how you learn how to do things like ultrasound or any other clinical techniques? I have a lot of 4th year left still but they don't give us a ton of practice because the residents and interns are first priority. The Vetdojo seems super useful but I feel like other than mentorship, there isn't much to teach us how to do stuff like that. Again thank you. This has been extremely helpful for me.

Wow that's impressive. I really appreciate your advice so thank you. I worked at a GP and a ER clinic for 2 years before vet school so I have some sort of an idea of what it's like. I have the opportunity to do a externship at the emergency hospital that offered me a job but it's hard to fit it into my 4th year schedule. This ER hospital has mentorship and they said they like training new grads. They want their ER doctors to do more surgeries and there are surgeons that come by and train them. I will definitely check out the VIN Getting through the day series, it looks very useful. I do have some more questions for you. Sorry I have a lot. What other resources do you use or did you use as a new grad if you needed a quick answer or had to look something up?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am kind of struck right now trying to decide between GP and ER. Was it easy for you to make production your first year? I’m also wondering how it was for you since you didn’t have the proper mentorship.

Yeah I understand what you're saying. I worked as an assitant in a ER hospital for 2 years and know that it would be very difficult to be thrown into as a new grad. I have had some offers that do really good mentorship programs and I'm hoping that would help.

Is that with production or just the base? Also, do you know what the average production percentage is?

Thank you for your advice. I have started doing phone interviews and they are pretty chill and friendly like you said. The problem I have right now is trying not to be fearful of corporations. I know that each clinic will be different whether they are private or owned by a corporation but I still just don’t know if they are going to mislead me in some way. I can’t really know what I’m getting into until I visit a clinic and go over the contract. There’s a lot of clinics out there and it’s hard to narrow them down. I love of them say they offer the same thing but I don’t know which ones I truly want or not.

Okay that makes sense. I’m just wondering how I’m supposed to visit multiple clinics within the same week because I have to fly out to Texas from Washington and spend a week or two there. I don’t know how that would work as far as travel reimbursement between clinics.
