🌟Let's help our veterinary colleagues by contributing to this survey!

📩The Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, (VECCS) has assembled a task force to explore current challenges and opportunities facing credentialed veterinary technicians across specialties within the industry.

👉As part of of their work, they have created a survey instrument focused on the experiences of credentialed veterinary technicians that will ultimately lead to at least one peer-reviewed paper. They hope to contribute substantially to the sparse body of scientific literature available surrounding the profession of veterinary technology.

⏳The survey will close on December 31st, 2023
