Opening Remarks
Abstract
I would like to mention a few points about the training of animal technicians. The AVMA has formed a committee, which is a sub-committee of the Council on Education, to undertake the accreditation of training programs of animal technician schools.
The name of the committee is “Committee on the Accreditation of the Training of Animal Technicians.” (CATAT). We are pleased with their progress; we have had eight site visits and eight schools have been accredited. I represent large animal practice on this committee.
