Vet tech shadowing
TLDR: wondering if I can get shadowing hours at clinic with zero animal experience; how to not be in the way/annoy you all with my presence lol
Hey y'all, I'm looking for some advice when it comes to vet tech shadowing hours. I'll need at least 40 hours in order to apply to the school I'm interested in.
In all honesty, I have zero experience in the field/ working with animals besides my own pets. I love animals deeply, and I'm interested in medicine, but after shadowing I'll know if this career is the right fit for me (I've been deep diving for a good while now, so I've seen the good, bad and ugly that comes with this job).
I'm wondering if any clinic since they're so busy would mind allowing someone to shadow? And if I were allowed the opportunity, how could I make sure to not be annoying/ get in the way of things?
