National Veterinary Technician Week - October 12-18, 2008

History/Purpose
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 can 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.
  • Acknowledge veterinarians for hiring veterinary technicians.

Sample press releases, proclamations and other information to celebrate National Veterinary Technician Week are in our members only area. click here to join.
