In this episode, we sit down with Miranda David, a Registered Veterinary Technician at our Frederick location, to explore what it really takes to earn a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) designation in Emergency and Critical Care.

Becoming a VTS isn’t just a certification—it’s a rigorous, multi-step process requiring years of experience, advanced training, and hundreds of hours of dedicated work before even qualifying for the exam.

Miranda shares her journey, what drives her commitment, and how this advanced expertise directly impacts the care and outcomes for the pets we serve at Partner.
