Celebrate Approved Veterinary Assistants with NAVTA from May 18-24!

Join NAVTA on May 31st for the next session in our Leadership Summit Series, where we will focus on how to interact with state veterinary medical boards, legislators, and regulators. All interested NAVTA members and state association leaders are welcome to attend for free!

Three sessions on Tuesdays at 7:00PM ET on June 10, June 17 and June 24

NAVTA is excited to bring back our exciting collaborative workshop where you will learn how to draft proposals to modify regulations and/or state veterinary practice acts to advance veterinary technicians in your state. To help bring standardization to our profession, we want to offer an opportunity for people to come together and collaborate on their proposals.

Upon completion of the workshop, each participant will:
– Outline achievable state legislative goals
– Learn how to draft specific Practice Act language to progress the veterinary technician profession in their state
– Create an action plan to identify stakeholders and supporters.

Participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to break into small groups where they will be grouped by state/legislative needs and can work with peers to craft proposals and strategies to engage with their respective state legislatures. Small groups will be guided by mentors who have worked with legislatures and regulators in their own state.

This workshop is free for all to attend but spots are limited, so don’t delay, sign up today!

Session Description: Over the hour, we will discuss common pet owner concerns when it comes to nutrition and give you guidance on how to confidently address those concerns. We will overview pet food and supplement regulation and safety in the beginning of the presentation. This will be followed with how to evaluate pet food and pet food companies, the limitations as well as cues you can glean from pet food labels, and the importance of understanding nutrients versus ingredients when it comes to pet nutrition. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Explain the roles of ingredients and nutrients in pet foods 
• Give examples of the responsibilities of the government agencies, pet food companies, and veterinary medical professionals in keeping pet food safe. 
• Recommend guidelines for owners to follow when selecting supplements for their pets 
• Summarize the information gathered from nutritional adequacy statement on a pet food label
