Hear from Our Team Members
"Getting to experience ophthalmology in a partner hospital, I'm learning so many new things that I didn't even know were possible for animals. I love that the stuff I'm learning I'm bringing back to the hospital that helped me start all of this and I'm teaching my tech team. We're feeding off of each other. All of this knowledge and trying to help each other just get better."
Perlita Diaz
Veterinary Technician, Eye Care for Animals
"Every day is a new and exciting opportunity to learn a new skill or valuable piece of information that can benefit the hospital as a whole. Whether it be learning to read an ultrasound or radiograph or simply just holding a pet for a blood draw, every little thing I do makes all the difference in the long run."
Jacob Cole
Veterinary Assistant, Leesburg Veterinary Hospital
“My hospital team and my mentor at Thrive have all been so supportive through the entire process. I always felt comfortable asking questions and never felt I was being hindered from progressing with the Penn Foster program. I am grateful to Thrive for helping me complete one of my goals, which is to get my certification back!”
