Caffeinators, did you hear who won NAVTA's 2022 Veterinary Technician of the Year Award? If not, look no further! It's Rochellie Cortés-Martínez, MBA, LVTg from Puerto Rico and she recently came by the Vet Tech Cafe to talk about the honor and life as a veterinary technician in Puerto Rico! This was a fascinating discussion in which we learned about the evolution of the profession there. She talked about how when she went through school not long ago, she attended the only veterinary technician program on the island, yet now, she is on faculty at one of SIX veterinary technician programs on the island! We discussed the legislative hurdles there, to which I'm sure many of us can relate. The discussion in this wide-ranging episode is not to be missed-we think you'll enjoy it as much as we did!
