I am overwhelmingly in support of these changes.  As an LVT in a Large Animal Practice, I am involved with decisions which affect the overall management and finances of the clinic.  All members of the medical team in a veterinary clinic should be educated with the most current managerial and financial information available.  LVT's are the "Jack of all Trades" in most clinics and would be best used not only in medical positions but in management/financial positions.  LVT's should be and are the most valuable asset to the success of a clinic, please allow them the education (CE) in  financial and management practices which would benefit all clinics in Virginia.
