This week, we’re delighted to bring you a special episode on large animal and livestock veterinary technicians featuring The Cattle Vet Tech, Meg Harrington, BS, CVT. Meh shares the latest update (and back story) on the recent changes to expand the scope of work veterinary technicians in her home state of Arkansas can perform and why she’s so passionate about large animal medicine!

We don’t talk nearly enough about our large animal colleagues nearly enough on the Veterinary Viewfinder. This week, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT, are joined by Meg Harrington, BS, CVT, the “Cattle Vet Tech,” to talk about her life, career, and why she’s fighting to expand the roles of veterinary technicians in Arkansas and around the country.

Viewfinders, we hope you find this conversation as inspiring as we did. Thanks again to Meg for her persistent advocacy of the veterinary profession!   

There have been a lot of legal moves lately regarding the roles, regulations, and titles of U.S. veterinary technicians. This week we look closer at what’s happening in several states and why all veterinary professionals must stay informed.  

Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT, review the recent legal maneuvers in Arkansas and what impact these changes may have around the country. This week's episode also discusses new rules proposed in California, Colorado, and elsewhere.

Viewfinders, in addition to staying up-to-date on legal changes affecting the veterinary profession, what issues are you seeing in your state? Let us know so we can share them with our colleagues!

As always, Viewfinders, we can’t thank you enough for your loyal listening over the past 6.5 years! Have a great week!
