Recently the Committee on Veterinary Technician Specialties (CVTS), a subcommittee of the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA), granted the Academy of Veterinary Technicians in Clinical Practice (AVTCP) provisional recognition as a Veterinary Technician Specialty (VTS).
AVTCP is the ninth officially recognized veterinary technician specialty and is modeled after the American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary college, the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP). Following the ABVP model, AVTCP has developed three initial species-specific categories, Canine/Feline, Avian/Exotic, and Production Animal.
The credentialed veterinary technicians of the AVTCP are dedicated to providing superior, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary care to our clients and patients. Candidates are expected to be knowledgeable and demonstrate expertise in a broad range of clinical disciplines within their species specialty.
Candidates eligible for admission to the AVTCP examinations will be evaluated on multi-disciplinary aspects of clinical practice including: anesthesia/analgesia, behavior, dentistry, diagnostic imaging, general medicine (knowledge of systems and common diseases), general nursing, laboratory testing, pharmacology, practice management, and surgical nursing.
Veterinary Technicians interested in learning more about VTS certification in Clinical Practice should contact the Academy Chair, Liza Wysong Rudolph, LVT, CVT, at lwrlvt@aol.com |
