AAHA Veterinary Technician Utilization Guidelines - All the Good (and One Questionable Inclusion according to Dr. Ward)

The 2023 AAHA Veterinary Technician Utilization Guidelines are out, and we're discussing all the good stuff and the one questionable inclusion (according to Dr. Ward). Viewfinders, there's a lot to talk about!

This week, we're live from the first veterinary technician-focused conference, HiVE, in Austin, Texas! (well, at least Beckie is there...). 

Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT, dive into the recently released AAHA Veterinary Technician Utilization Guidelines. They review the subtle - but potentially impactful - shift in proposed vet tech terminology and tips for optimizing your veterinary technicians. Finally, Dr. Ward shares the one thing he's not sure should've been included with the guidelines (no spoilers! You have to listen to it all to find out what it is!).
