Job Shadowing Opportunities
The best way to secure a job shadowing position at a veterinary clinic is to go to the clinic and ask the front desk if there are shadowing positions available and who you can talk to about shadowing. If this is not feasible, call the clinic. Remember that shadowing in Bellingham veterinary clinics is competitive. Be persistent!
