At the direction of a veterinarian, CVTs

  • instruct clients
  • perform laboratory testing
  • take radiographs
  • provide skilled nursing care to animal patients
  • administer medications
  • assist in anesthesia and surgery

CVTs carry out their tasks with varying levels of supervision by a veterinarian, as specified by the Veterinary Practice Act.

  • To be certified by the FVMA a CVT must
  • graduate from an AVMA accredited veterinary technician program
  • obtain a passing grade in the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE), which is administered by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB).
