Veterinary Technician Assistant - Cardiology Service

Technician Assistant – Cardiology

Help hearts. Help people. Learn something new every day.

There’s a lot happening behind every echocardiogram, consultation, and Cardiology appointment—and we’re looking for someone who enjoys being right in the middle of it.

Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota (AERC) is looking for a Technician Assistant to join our Cardiology Service. You’ll work alongside our cardiologists and Licensed Veterinary Technicians, helping with patient care, client communication, appointments, and all the moving pieces that keep a busy specialty service running smoothly.

You don’t need to be a cardiology expert. You do need to be curious, flexible, comfortable with both pets and people, and excited to learn.

What You’ll Do

Your days will be a mix of hands-on patient care, client communication, and keeping Cardiology moving. You’ll:

• Handle and safely restrain patients for echocardiograms, blood draws, radiographs, and other diagnostics
• Help facilitate outpatient appointments and in-hospital Cardiology consultations
• Start medical records, enter charges, transport patients, and help coordinate patient flow
• Communicate with clients in person, by phone, email, and other approved platforms
• Help answer client questions and concerns with guidance from our cardiologists and LVTs
• Prepare, stock, clean, and organize equipment, exam rooms, and treatment areas
• Assist with basic technical duties according to your training and experience
• Pitch in with the logistical and operational tasks that keep the service running efficiently

As your skills grow, so will your role. With training, you’ll have opportunities to take on more responsibility with Cardiology appointments, including obtaining patient histories and helping guide patients and clients through their visits.
