Hey Caffeinators, have you ever wondered how the veterinary technician specialty academies are formed? Are you interested in becoming a VTS at some point? Have you considered what it looks like to START a new academy? Well, then don't miss this episode with Lorelei D'Avolio, LVT, VTS (CP-Exotic Companion Animal), CVPM! This was a fascinating discussion about the formation of academies, as she's a founding member of the AVTCP and the current Chair of the CVTS (Committee of Veterinary Technician Specialties). This committee is responsible for overseeing current academies and reviewing proposals for aspiring academies. We've spent several episodes highlighting many of the VTS academies currently in existence (with more on the way-SPOILER ALERT!) but it was great to have a discussion about how those academies are formed and maintained, and also just hear all the amazing things Lorelei has done in her career and still continues to be motivated to do! She works in New York City's ONLY stand-alone exotics practice-we cover that too! We think you'll enjoy this one!
