We have a (not-so) secret weapon in the veterinary profession: the registered veterinary technologist or technician (RVT). These highly educated medical professionals who work one-on-one with your pets every day are vital to a compassionate and well-run hospital. Vet techs jobs are far from boring. Vet Techs are in demand.
Veterinary technicians are, essentially, veterinary nurses, and are graduates of two or four year college-level programs and are legally qualified to assist veterinarians in many medical procedures.
