Action | Increase in CE hours for veterinary technicians |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 1/29/2016 |
Sadly I disagree with this proposal. While I do acknowledge that there are ever increasing advancements in veterinary medicine, I think the current requirement is sufficient for LVTs. Where I see the need for improvement is in the quality and type of CE for Techs. Often times the CE is just a cut down version of what DVMs get, and actually serves very little practical purpose to a tech. We need to stop being considered as second class citizens and treated as the professionals we are supposed to be. We need clear divisions between what we are allowed to do and what assistants or non licensed personnel are allowed to do.
