A Conversation with AVMA Trust Veterinary Technician Patrick Douglas

Our guest on this week’s episode of My Veterinary Podcast is Patrick Douglas, the first AVMA Trust Veterinary Technician. Patrick discusses his new role, which involves managing claims data for AVMA members, providing educational support, and bridging the gap between veterinarians and support staff. He shares insights from his background in zoo medicine, emphasizing the importance of understanding exotic animal claims. The conversation also touches on the challenges and surprises of his transition from zoo medicine to the AVMA Trust, and the significance of continuous learning and mental health in the veterinary profession. We really enjoyed our time with Patrick and can’t wait to share his journey with you!
