Veterinary technician utilization has measurable impacts on patient care, team wellbeing, and practice sustainability, AND not just in small animal practices!
Veterinary technician utilization has measurable impacts on patient care, team wellbeing, and practice sustainability. 🐾
The 2023 AAHA Technician Utilization Guidelines highlight what happens when credentialed veterinary technicians (CrVTs) are fully utilized within their state-defined scope of practice:
✅ ~$104K–$137K estimated revenue impact per CrVT, per veterinarian
✅ 36% median revenue increase when appropriate tasks are delegated
✅ By 2030, a projected shortage of 50,000+ CrVTs
CrVTs complete accredited education programs, pass the VTNE, and maintain continuing education all to support high-quality patient care as part of the veterinary team.
As conversations about access to care continue, these data points offer an important perspective: strengthening and supporting the roles already established within the veterinary team is a critical part of the path forward.
