The Veterinary Technician Career Ladder

Welcome to the future of Veterinary Technicians. At this point this information is only a good idea that many people have seen and think should happen. Good "ideas" get better when they are shared and therefore we are sharing this information with you. The information shared here is a concept for structuring the education and professional skills of veterinary technicians. More specifically we want to work with the concept of what will, for now, be referred to as the "Career Ladder". It is believed by many that this concept will serve as an instrument of attraction, professional development, and retention.

A clearly structured pattern for educational growth will enhance the attractiveness of the field of veterinary technology. Progression along this pathway lends to a vision of professional development and the rewards that come with the same. The ensuing personal pride and consequential rewards will serve to retain many talented people in the field.

The Career Ladder holds vision of a wonderful journey in a wonderful profession. It begins with veterinary assistants who are eager to learn and willing to be helpful. It gives a clear path to progress to a position of shared responsibility and sense of colegiality.

While you are perusing this material please keep in mind that this concept as well as the web site will be continually updated. We welcome your comments and participation. Please enjoy and share this information.
