Use of title Licensed Veterinary Technician
 

Licensed Veterinary Technicians, qualified and skilled , are allowed to insert intravenous catherters, urinary catheters, endottachtubes, as it should be. Other non-certified assistants doing these tasks would create a liability to the patient and the practice.
