The Good, Bad, and Ugly of National Veterinary Technician Week 2024
Veterinary Viewfinder Podcast - A podcast by Dr. Ernie Ward & Beckie Mossor, RVT - Wednesdays
Categories:
In this week's episode of "The Veterinary Viewfinder," Dr. Ernie Ward and registered veterinary technician Beckie Mossor tackle an unexpectedly tough topic: the controversy surrounding National Veterinary Technician Week. While this week, from October 13 to 19, is dedicated to celebrating the tireless efforts and vital contributions of credentialed veterinary technicians, not everyone is on board. Beckie shares her perspective on the growing divide within the veterinary community regarding how—and whether—this week should be celebrated. Some argue that National Veterinary Technician Week isn't being properly recognized, while others are even refusing to participate altogether. Dr. Ward and Beckie discuss these issues, expressing concerns about the negativity surrounding what should be a time for unity and appreciation. Despite the controversies, our hosts highlight inspiring stories of dedicated vet techs and reinforce the true purpose of this week: to honor and uplift credentialed veterinary technicians who are the backbone of veterinary care. Join the conversation as Dr. Ward and Beckie dig into the good, the bad, and the ugly of National Veterinary Technician Week. #veterinary #veterinarytechnician #veterinary #podcast #veterinarypodcast #vettechpodcast #vetpodcast
