NC Association of Veterinary Technicians

The North Carolina Association of Veterinary Technicians (NCAVT) began as a small group of dedicated veterinary medical technicians in the Wake County area in the early 1980s. In 1992-93, officers of the NCAVT were instrumental in helping Bill 747 pass in the NC General Assembly. The bill essentially kept the North Carolina Veterinary Practice Act from becoming open to individuals who had not graduated from an AVMA accredited program of veterinary medical technology and successfully completed the National Veterinary Technician Exam and State Boards. The Association continues to advocate for the appropriate recognition and utilization of all roles in the Veterinary community- including RVTs, Assistants, students, and support staff.
