The objective of NAVTA’s Veterinary Nurse Initiative Committee is to work towards standardizing Veterinary Technician credentials nationally, defining the Veterinary Technician scope of practice, creating Veterinary Technician title protection, and establishing and identity as veterinary nurses.
The current veterinary technician credentials and credentialing systems, which vary state to state, have led to confusion for the veterinary consumer and within the veterinary profession of the important role our profession plays on the veterinary health care team.
