There are not many people in our field that are working as hard as Ken Yagi is to change it.  To know Ken is to know how many Boards and Committees he serves on, how much work he puts in every day to try to make things better, and what it looks like to be the Chief Veterinary Nursing Officer for Veterinary Emergency Group, or VEG.  That last point is where we spend the bulk of our time in this episode.  Ken Yagi, MS, RVT, VTS (ECC) (SAIM), recently sat down with us to discuss his role inside VEG, the incredible talent that they have acquired, future expansion plans, and much more. You may have seen posts online recently about the higher wages and benefits VEG offers to veterinary technicians, and we wanted to know what they're putting in the water (or coffee) at VEG and whether or not this is sustainable.  They believe it is and our profession will be better for it.  We could talk to Ken for hours about so many different things, but with the current job market, we felt this was a good first step.  Grab a cup of coffee and join the discussion!
