🔑 Protecting the title of Veterinary Technician is vital for maintaining high standards in veterinary care. The Technician Utilization Toolkit emphasizes the importance of reserving this title for trained professionals who have completed accredited education and passed certification exams.

By recognizing and respecting the credentialed status of veterinary technicians, we not only elevate the profession but also ensure that pet owners can confidently trust the care their pets receive. While uniform title protection laws across all states are the long-term goal, we can all take action every day to highlight the expertise of these vital team members.
