Home » News » Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week
This week marks Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week! First celebrated in 1993, this week brings awareness to and celebrates the Veterinary Technician profession and the contributions that they make in animal healthcare. Veterinary Technicians, also known as Veterinary Nurses, play a vital role in in the day to day operations of veterinary clinics. Without Veterinary Technicians, clinics would not function as they do today.
Veterinary Technicians undergo rigorous training in an accredited program. They’re trained in animal care and handling, laboratory testing, radiography, surgical and anesthetic procedures, nutrition consultation, physiotherapy, and many other technical procedures and practices.
They perform many of the same tasks that nurses, laboratory technicians, and other specialized technologists provide to people in hospitals.
Veterinary Technician Week is a week set aside to acknowledge and recognize the critical role of Veterinary Technicians in veterinary clinics. They are highly skilled and extremely dedicated to the work they do each day. If you are visiting your veterinary clinic this week, be sure to thank the Technicians for their diligence with your pet!
