National Veterinary Technicians Week

Our pets receive excellent medical care in the United States, not only from veterinarians but from the entire veterinary medical team. An integral component of this team is the veterinary technician. To celebrate and promote the role of veterinary technicians, the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America, or NAVTA, has proclaimed the third week of October as National Veterinary Technicians Week. Cherylann Gieseke, president of NAVTA, discusses National Veterinary Technicians Week.

Over 50 audio features are available on wide-ranging topics, including: pet and human health, food safety, dog bites and animal welfare, etc.
