Licensed Veterinary Technicians are the "nurses" of our profession. There are both 2 year and 4 year degrees just as there are in the human healthcare field.  Technician training covers all aspects of veterinary care including the administration of medications, collecting and performing laboratory tests, administering and monitoring anesthesia, taking radiographs, assisting in surgical procedures, and counseling pet owners. Our technicians are the backbone of the healthcare team; our "Angels of Mercy". Long the unsung hero of most hospital successes, we have benefited greatly from the involvement of these wonderful individuals in our outpatient arena. Now, most of our clients know them by name.
