Veterinary Technician Specialties
Veterinary Technician Specialties are the next step to advance technicians into the new century, and NAVTA's Committee on Veterinary Technician Specialties is the governing body for granting specialty status.

NAVTA created the Committee on Veterinary Technician Specialties (CVTS) in 1994 to respond to the development of specialty disciplines for veterinary technicians. CVTS has developed guidelines to assist groups petitioning NAVTA for specialty recognition and has been recognized by the AVMA as the body to oversee the development of veterinary technician Academies.
