Veterinary Nurse or Veterinary Technician? The Veterinary Nurse Initiative: An Update to the Veterinary Technician Credentials

Angell Animal Medical Center

The National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) has launched the Veterinary Nurse Initiative (VNI). The goal of the VNI is to standardize the credential for our profession in terms of credentialing requirements, title, and scope of practice throughout the nation. A standardized credential will unify the profession and grow professional recognition. Some of the questions this presentation will answer include:

  • Why change the current “Veterinary Technician” title to “Registered Veterinary Nurse”?  
  • How will changing the title Veterinary Technician impact credentialing standards?
  • How might this affect me?
  • Will this open new career opportunities?

This presentation is approved for 1 CEU and provided by the MVTA. There is no charge to attend but registration is required to ensure adequate seating
