🌟 Mentorship in Action: Kelly and Dasha’s Story at Animal Emergency Hospital 🌟
At Animal Emergency Hospital, we believe that the best medicine starts with teamwork, mentorship, and a shared passion for helping animals. Every new assistant who joins our team is paired with an experienced mentor—someone who guides, teaches, and inspires them to grow into confident, skilled veterinary professionals.
Today, we’re excited to share the story of Kelly and Dasha, a mentor-mentee pair who remind us what AEH is all about: caring. compassionate. dedicated. 💙
🐾 Dasha’s Story
“During my time in the mentorship program at Animal Emergency Hospital, I’ve had the opportunity to work with my mentor, Kelly, mostly during my overnight shifts.
When I first started, I had no previous experience in veterinary medicine, but with Kelly’s guidance, I’ve learned many new practical skills and gained a much deeper understanding of animal care and medical procedures.
I’m really grateful for the patience, encouragement, and kind correction she’s given me throughout my learning journey. This experience has helped me realize how much I love this field, and it inspired me to take the next step—I’m now enrolled in a veterinary technician program and working toward earning my veterinary technician license.”
🌟 Kelly’s Perspective
“I never planned on working in the veterinary field - I applied for a job on a whim, not realizing how much it would end up changing my life. I started out in a regular veterinary practice for a short while before transitioning to emergency medicine, where I quickly discovered my true passion.
When Dasha asked me to be her mentor, I'll admit I was nervous at first; I never really saw myself as a trainer. But Dasha's eagerness to learn and her natural compassion made the experience effortless and rewarding.
She has been incredible with the pets and has shown so much growth in such a short time. I have no doubt she will go on to become an amazing veterinary technician.”
💡 Mentorship Makes the Difference
Our mentorship program pairs new assistants with experienced team members to build confidence, develop clinical skills, and promote a culture of learning and support. It’s one of the ways we ensure every patient—and every team member—receives the care and attention they deserve.
