About The Position

Mid-Columbia Pet Emergency Service has expanded its doctor team and is looking to add more LVTs to its practice. This role is ideal for individuals interested in learning and growing with an amazing team of nurses and doctors. While ER or CCU experience is appreciated, the practice is also looking to train technicians in the skills required to save lives. For those with foundational skills in restraint, venipuncture, IVC placement, and collecting accurate vitals, the practice will provide further training. Newly licensed technicians are encouraged to apply and will have the opportunity to learn Emergency medicine while being mentored by experienced LVTs, practicing at the top of their license.
