What is a veterinary medical technician?
A Veterinary Medical Technician is a member of the veterinary health team who has been educated in the care and handling of animals. They can be to a veterinarian what a nurse is to a physician. However, a technician is limited by the State Practice Act, which precludes diagnosing, prescribing medication, and performing surgery. The veterinary medical technician is employed under the supervision of a veterinarian.
