This was a special episode for Jeff. Rachelle Pastorkovich, RVT, was a former student of his when he was an adjunct professor at what was then Professional Veterinary Assistant School. Rachelle graduated from that tech school in 2011 and has worked in general and specialty practice. To pursue her love of wildlife, she volunteered for local wildlife organizations and also worked for a local veterinarian who did a lot of work for local zoos and wildlife and bird of prey rehabilitation. From there, she pivoted and began working at Sea World as an RVT in 2018, and is set to start a new role at the Safari Animal Park in early 2022. In this episode we discuss her path and work at Sea World, and what it looks like to work in marine mammal medicine. We examine developing the skills needed for working with those species as they're not animals commonly discussed or taught in veterinary technician school. This led to some fascinating discussion comparing and contrasting skills and anatomy of different species. We think you'll enjoy this one-we sure did!
