Our Technicians
A very important group of people within the veterinary profession are the technicians. Just as nurses perform much of the hands-on work in human medicine, veterinary technicians are crucial to the health and wellbeing of animals in veterinary practice. Some technicians may be referred to as Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) or as Animal Health Technologists (AHTs).
