Veterinary Technician Week
October 11, 2011
As members of the veterinary healthcare team, veterinary technicians are educated in the latest medical advances and skilled at working alongside veterinarians to give pets, exotic and companion animals, livestock, and equine athletes the best medical care possible. They work closely with veterinarians, veterinary assistants, practice managers, patients, and owners to provide the essential link among all involved in the care process.
