National Veterinary Technician Week — October 12-18, 2008
In June 1993, the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America's Executive Board passed a resolution declaring the third week in October as National Veterinary Technician Week (NVTW).
During this special week, veterinary technicians focus favorable attention on their profession through a variety of activities. These activities serve to: educate the public about this vital member of the veterinary medical team, reinforce the value and professionalism of veterinary technicians to veterinarians and the public, provide an opportunity for veterinary technicians to salute one another for excellent performance in their work, and acknowledge veterinarians for hiring veterinary technicians.
We at Animal Emergency Clinic are proud of our veterinary technicians and value their enormous contribution to the excellent level of healthcare we provide everyday. So next time you see a veterinary technician, say "Thanks!"
"You are wonderful. It takes such special people to deliver unfavorable news in such a caring and compassionate manner, knowing even the smallest of creatures play big roles in our families. Lilly had 10 fantastic years with us and brought us so much joy and humor to our lives. How lucky we were to have such a neat companion! A sincere thanks for your care and kind words. I so appreciate you and the work you do! You are wonderful!"
