Empowering veterinary technicians

Empowering veterinary technicians to use all of their training and skills drives practice efficiency and wellbeing—for everyone in the hospital. There’s a clear link between practice revenue and the work of veterinary technicians, and also between veterinary technicians’ job satisfaction and their use of the skills and knowledge acquired in their education. Plus, when we fully utilize all of our veterinary technicians’ skills, we free up veterinarians’ time to focus solely on work that requires veterinary medical education—and that means more satisfied veterinarians as well.
