Abstract

Employing credentialed veterinary technicians as part of the veterinary medical team enables veterinarians to use their time and skills to make diagnoses, develop prognoses, prescribe treatments, and perform surgeries, while delegating other tasks that require skill and knowledge to the veterinary technician. Practices that employ and properly leverage veterinary technicians can see benefits in several areas, including client services, time management, and profitability.
