FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE DATE: NATIONAL VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK: October 12-19, 2024 St. Louis, MO: Your pet(s) deserve the best in pet care and it takes everyone on the veterinary health care team to make that happen. The National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) recognized that fact and created National Veterinary Technician Week (NVTW). As a member of the veterinary health care team, veterinary technicians are educated in the latest medical advances and skilled at working alongside veterinarians to give pets the best medical care possible. They work closely with the veterinarians, veterinary assistants, practice managers, and owners to provide essential care to all species of animals: pets with fur, feathers, scales, or skin. NAVTA, along with the Missouri Veterinary Technicians Association (MOVTA), has proclaimed October 12-19, 2024 to be National Veterinary Technician Week. This annual event recognizes veterinary technicians for their contributions in pet healthcare. MOVTA is a nonprofit organization that represents and promotes the veterinary technician profession in Missouri. Since 1974, the organization has been the leading voice representing Missouri registered veterinary technicians and support staff working in private practice, research, academia and government throughout the state of Missouri. There are over 900 actively Registered Veterinary Technicians in the state of Missouri. The mission of MOVTA is to represent, promote, and advance the field of veterinary technology through education, legislation, and by providing superior animal care. Pets give us unconditional love and veterinary technicians provide TLC to pets and animals.
