Agreeing with other L.V.T. on here that six hours should be enough. Sometimes it is difficult to find time to even do that when you work in a big practice that stays busy and is expanding. It used to not be an issue with me, however, this are changing and the demand is increasing. I work with older veterinarians, middle aged veterinarians, and new veterinarian, as well as two other tech, one older and one I trained. With a diverse sense of knowledge in the clinic, and everyone so willing to help other learn new things, I don't feel an increase is needed. Also, the reps. That come by and the lunch and learns we have quite freq. help keep us up to date on medications, products, and food trials. I feel education is spread well amongst large clinics.
