National Veterinary Technician Week--October 12-18, 2008

October 10, 2008: In June 1993, the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America's Executive Board passed a resolution declaring the third week in October as National Veterinary Technician Week (NVTW).

During this special week, veterinary technicians focus favorable attention on their profession through a variety of activities. These activities serve to: educate the public about this vital member of the veterinary medical team, reinforce the value and professionalism of veterinary technicians to veterinarians and the public, provide an opportunity for veterinary technicians to salute one another for excellent performance in their work, and acknowledge veterinarians for hiring veterinary technicians.

We at Animal Emergency Clinic are proud of our veterinary technicians and value their enormous contribution to the excellent level of healthcare we provide everyday. So next time you see a veterinary technician, say "Thanks!"
