Dr. Colin Bullmore, Veterinarian and Johnson College Veterinary Technology Program instructor, was recently invited to speak at a Northeast Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association (NEPVMA) meeting.
Dr. Bullmore shared information about Johnson College’s Veterinary Technology program and Animal Care Center. He also stressed the importance of hiring certified veterinary technicians (CVT). Dr. Bullmore questioned, “Would you want an unregistered nurse to work on yourself or a loved one?” He explained, “We are not asking what you can do for a certified technician. Rather we are asking what a certified technician can do for you.” Veterinary technicians are an essential part of veterinary care in areas such as assisting in surgery, taking radiographs and evaluating blood samples. A CVT is qualified to perform a great deal of tasks independently and without veterinarian supervision. Having CVTs on staff increases productivity and enhances the overall quality of pet health care.
NEPVMA is an organization comprised of local veterinarians and veterinary technicians and is a constituent of the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association. NEPVMA holds meetings throughout the year in an effort to provide continuing education, which allows veterinary professionals to maintain state licensing.

Seriously people need to see the value of a CVT, as I had two pets that passed away young when my parents were bringing them to uncertified vets
With the increase in pet owners around the globe, vet institutes coming out with CVT programs are a great service to all the pet lovers.
