Vet assistant Aggie and UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences student worker Piper got to try their hands at preg-checking beef cattle this month while in the truck with Dr. Chamlee! This was Aggie’s first time handling the ultrasound probe, and she calls it a “yeehaw of a time”!
“It was very fun,” she says. “I caught on quick ‘cause Dr. Faith is such a great teacher!” 🖤
The CLS vet assistants get a ton of hands-on experience, and not just in assisting the vet they’re riding with on any given day. Their job includes recordkeeping and data entry, keeping the trucks stocked and equipment sanitized, being the second pair of hands at an appointment, and stepping in during procedures as needed. Much of their job training is a guided sort of toss to the wolves, and the CLS team is so lucky to have Aggie, Lexi, and Cheyenne with us every day!
Our student workers and externs are assigned similar responsibilities based on their experience and career goals. We had a summer packed with ride-alongs, and look forward to seeing and teaching more aspiring large animal vets as this school year begins.
