The Bridge Club’s March 12th topic, Veterinary Technician or Veterinary Nurse: Answers to why the credentials and title are evolving, drew a sell-out crowd to listen to Ken Yagi, MS, RVT, VTS (ECC, SAIM) and Heather Prendergast, RVT, CVPM, SHPH, co-chairs of The Veterinary Nurse Initiative. They presented rationales for changing the professional titles and an overview of the need for a national qualifications strategy. Questions were sent via chat and addressed during the session. Because of this strong interest, The Bridge Club will reconvene on this topic soon.
Interest in veterinary telemedicine also remains strong. The pilot discussion about telemedicine featuring Dr. Jeff Werber is now available for everyone to view. < Telemedicine discussion link >
