Let's get back at it tonight: What does a credentialed veterinary technician do?

While most people hear the word "technician" and think someone is working on your cable box, credentialed vet techs are doing so much more. In fact, the equipment and keeping it maintained is, for some techs, the one thing they DO NOT want to be doing.

Technicians in the veterinary field are taking radiographs, gathering samples for various testing, running anesthesia, scrubbing in for surgery, taking care of neonates, managing inventory and entire pharmacies (and knowing each drug inside and out), critical care nurses, laundry managers, record keepers and more...

Their specific skill set and role in the hospital leads them to be natural leaders and advocates. Hospitals are holding these techs accountable and looking to them to train and educate their other employees.

For every time a client calls and says "I want a doctor not a tech", we wish they understood just how much the techs actually know. If you are talking to a tech, they've likely already confirmed the information with a doctor themselves and are going in most cases to be able to give you some extra minutes of their day to chat about Fluffy's diarrhea.

Disclaimer: None of this is to say the other positions in the hospital aren't important - but this is veterinary technician week, so let's keep praising these specific folks, shall we?

Every October, the industry takes a week to celebrate veterinary technicians! This year, we would like to talk to you al...

Every October, the industry takes a week to celebrate veterinary technicians! This year, we would like to talk to you all about them: who they are, what they do, and why they are so awesome. Spoiler alert: we could not do this without them!

First, because not everyone is 100% sure on this: What actually is a vet tech?

A credentialed veterinary nurse! First, they graduate from an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accredited program (with BAS or AAS degrees in hand) and then sit for their state specific exam to become boarded. Here in Virginia, they must maintain yearly licensing with the Va Dept. of Health after meeting the required amount of continuing education each year. Their college education not only includes the usual suspects, but also includes things like pathology, pharmacology, anatomy and physiology, anesthesia, radiology, and more! Every LVT regardless of their specialty learns all aspects of veterinary medicine. Even if you only want to work with horses, you still have to learn about hamsters!

At graduation, these newly hatched veterinary technicians take an oath. This Oath is their promise to all of us that no matter what, they will leave everything they have at the paws, hooves, and toe beans of the animals they get to take care of.

Tonight we ask you help us share this oath! Share so everyone can help us spoil our own LVTs by including your story about how a vet tech (does not have to be just ours, but we love praise for ours), has helped you and your pet live a better life.
