Your Technicians Are the Foundation of Your Clinic
Vet Tech Week is a chance to acknowledge what most clinic owners already know: their licensed veterinary technicians and assistants are among the most important people in the building. The efficiency of every DVM in your practice depends on the competence and commitment of the staff working alongside them.
This week is worth celebrating intentionally. And it is also worth thinking about practically.
The Practical Side of Vet Tech Week
Many clinics use Vet Tech Week as an opportunity to offer their staff a team event, a recognition gesture, or some form of professional development. Some clinics give their techs a day off. If yours does, and if that day off coincides with a day your DVM needs tech support to run a full schedule, you need a plan for coverage.
Your Neighbor Vet places relief LVTs, VAs as well as relief DVMs. If you want to give your technicians some appreciation time without disrupting your clinic’s capacity, we can help you arrange relief tech support for those days.
Appreciation and Operations Can Coexist
The best way to show your technicians you value them is to give them recognition that does not also ask them to carry extra load. A team celebration that still requires them to work full patient volume is not really a celebration. Covering their shifts so they can actually enjoy the recognition is.
