Veterinary technicians should not only be able to assess a patient quickly, says Erica Mattox, CVT, VTS (ECC), patient care director and surgery manager of WestVet in Garden City, Idaho, but also run diagnostics.

Veterinary technicians should not only be able to assess a patient quickly, says Erica Mattox, CVT, VTS (ECC), patient care director and surgery manager of WestVet in Garden City, Idaho, but also run diagnostics.

Veterinary technicians should be doing the diagnostics—such as running a blood panel or doing the blood pressure—to free up the doctor.
