About this event

An RVT, or Registered Veterinary Technologist, is a highly trained individual, and is well versed in many areas of veterinary medicine including anesthesia, nutrition, animal behaviour, diagnostic laboratory testing, radiography, emergency medicine, and public education. Technologists are an integral part of the veterinary team and work together with veterinarians to provide patient nursing care, diagnostics and treatment services. Technologists also work in other animal and welfare related areas such as:

• research institutions
• government services
• pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
• zoos
• educational institutions
• feedlot operations
• humane societies and law enforcement
• equine training facilities
• ranching and dairy operations

Technologists also have the opportunity to become highly trained in special skills such as rehabilitative therapy, dentistry, anesthesia, emergency or other recognized veterinary technologist specialty (VTS) fields and advanced training programs.
