Veterinary Technician Specialties

It is important to understand the two terms associated with this new area; society and academy. A society is defined as a group of individuals, veterinary technicians, hospital staff, veterinarians, interested in a specific discipline or area of veterinary medicine. Academy is the term selected by NAVTA to designate a group receiving recognition as a specialty.
