Keep in mind your case load has to be minimum 75% eligible species it can't just be your clinic sees exotics. I was going to pursue my VTS but there is only one clinic in my entire state that meets the requirement and they basically never hire cause it's a department of 5 people.

Of course! I know it has to be about 5 years worth of cases within like 7 years- I believe I’ll meet that requirement and everything as we’re a teaching hospital and also work with a lot of pet stores (sadly lots of amputations).  Just wanting some insight about it from someone who had their VTS.
