The Use of the Veterinary Technician in Bovine Practice

Abstract

As a lot of you know, there is a kind of controversy within our profession now on the use of animal technicians. North Carolina developed an animal technician school early and the first graduates were in 1962. I first became involved with the A VMA's committee for animal technicians' activities and training and served on that committee from its inception in 1972 to about 1976. Since 1976 I have been on the council of education and serve on that at present as chairman of non-professional assistants for veterinarians. There are several aspects we could look at.
