Veterinary Technology

A Registered Veterinary Technologist, or RVT, is trained to work under the supervision of a Veterinarian and can also work in other animal health related fields. Under the supervision of the Veterinarian, the technologist performs many tasks in the clinic. With their specialized training, RVTs offer a great deal to the hospital setting.

By assuming many of the technical duties and care of the patients, Veterinary Technologists enable Veterinarians to concentrate on their patient caseloads and expand the range and quality of services provided.
