What we require of our veterinarians is not that complicated. We trust that any PA-licensed veterinarian that graduated from an accredited institution knows what to do and loves what they do. But if we had a short wish list of what we are searching for in an individual, the following would be included:

1. Caring, energetic, and offers client-oriented and patient-centered care

2. Excellent communication both oral and written—maintains accurate and detailed medical records

3. Profound sense of humor

4. Possess a general understanding of emotional intelligence or EQ
