The ever-growing demand for Credentialed Veterinary Technicians (CrVTs) has necessitated the development of creative educational models in veterinary medicine. On-the-job training (OJT) often competes with formal academic pathways for entry into the clinical environment. This session will explore a blended approach to OJT that leads to formal credentialing, using accessible yet often misunderstood distance learning models.

  • Understand the challenges the industry is facing with traditional training models
  • Discuss different methods of delivering OTJ training to supplement distance learning
  • Understand how to create appropriate pathways from entry-level to CrVT in your hospital
