LVT’s are already underutilized. This would undermine the education and training they have worked hard to obtain. An assistant has no formal education, and does not have to take boards or go through continuing education. LVT’s deserve to be utilized more, not less. There are plenty of non-technical tasks that need to be performed in a vet hospital. Leave those roles to the assistant, and let the trained, educated LVT do the technical work.
