... This course was EXTREMELY practical. Before I took the course I had no idea what my responsibilities were as the OSHA safety person and now I have a nearly complete manual to present if we were to be inspected. I would highly recommend this course!! Doc was incredibly available, gave great feedback and kept me interested. VetMedTeam has great courses and this one has been my favorite so far. Can you believe that? An OSHA course being my favorite ...
... Everything was great! Doc did a wonderful job making OSHA interesting and I m actually excited about it now. Discussion questions helped out a lot. Doc had a lot of good input as well as some of the other students. I feel so much better about being safety officer after this class
... I liked looking at the discussion boards and seeing what was going on at the other hospitals. I also enjoyed the interaction with the course instructor. It was amazing how available and personalized her interactions were
... Being able to read others ideas and materials to obtain ideas and also see how others put plans in place. I loved the feed back from Dr. Chery - she makes you feel like the most important person in the world! She makes things interesting and fun and I've NEVER used the word fun along with OSHA before! Love her!
... All the material, especially forms, are completely relevant to my workplace. Several areas that can improve are apparent and I am eager to get to meet the challenge of improving
... Doc Chery MAKES this course. I was able to think about taking this course knowing she was teaching as she was fabulous in the Beginner Course. I would gladly take any course she was teaching.
... This course was awesome and Doc Chery was so helpful! She responded so quickly to my questions and was always so upbeat and positive that it made a topic that is normally horribly boring to learn about actually fun to learn about. I have learned so much and our practice is now almost totally OSHA compliant.
... This was the best Safety Course I have ever done. Although the governing bodies and laws are different in the UK, the day to day safety issues are the same. I really enjoyed it!! Never thought I'd say that about a safety course!!
.. Most beneficial was the step by step putting together of the Safety Manual and the ready made forms. A TREMENDOUS help! I learned much in the Basic OSHA course but I learned still a lot more in this course even without the Safety Manual information. The instructor is what keeps this class interesting. I always looked forward to reading my assignment replys as well as the replys to the other students. The use of the discussion board is truely a great learning tool in itself. I like the fact there are modules, they are somewhat short, they are straight to the point with the info we need yet not overbearing with technical jargon. |

Her experience in the veterinary laboratory – clinical setting and research environment – and her knowledge as an epidemiologist, specialty zoonotic diseases and her years of experience as a medical technologist, combined with her years in a mixed animal practice, come through in her understanding of the various realms of veterinary services. She is dedicated to simplifying life for the busy practitioner, and that is reflected throughout her manuals as well as through her various training programs, newsletters and articles.
Dr. Kendrick speaks and teaches at conferences, seminars and veterinary association meetings. Her specialty in zoonotic diseases has made her a sought-after speaker and consultant. Her nationwide on-site regulatory consulting services include the development and setup of OSHA Safety programs and DEA, EPA, FDA and FTC program compliance in the clinic, as well as employee training and update services. Dr. Kendrick writes the only monthly regulatory newsletter specifically for the veterinary practice written by a veterinarian: OSHA Tidings.
Dr. Kendrick joined VetMedTeam as a course writer and instructor in 2007 in order to provide online training for the veterinary community.

She is an active member of American Association of Clinical Laboratory Research Professionals and a CHE partner (Collaborative on Health and the Environment).
Dr. Kendrick remains actively involved in regulatory issues at the federal and state levels, maintaining an active presence as a voice and advocate for the profession. Dr. Kendrick has testified on Capitol Hill before the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives as well as the California state legislative bodies. She has served as an expert witness for U.S. House and Senate on the following issues:
* Regulatory control in the medical, dental and veterinary industries
* Animal Control: humane facilities, shelter medicine and compassion fatigue
* Livestock housing and farming methods: factory farming, bioterrorism and the epidemiology of zoonotic transfer
* Emerging infectious diseases: including H1N1 (swine flu) and H5N1 (bird flu).
The Kendrick Technical Services team includes a legal staff (which includes former Department of Justice and Trade attorneys and law school professors), an editorial staff (including former assistant managing editor of a major metropolitan newspaper) and a team of administrative professionals that keep Kendrick Technical Services relevant, up-to-date, and focused.
