About You

  • The Specialist Mindset: You have a passion for veterinary ophthalmology and a strong desire to learn from a specialized team.
  • The Empathetic Communicator: You communicate with empathy, building strong relationships with both clients and team members.
  • The Professional: A state license (CVT/LVT/RVT) is preferred but not required.
