As a benefit to our members, CACVT provides a list of individuals who offer their services as relief technicians. However, CACVT does not endorse, is not responsible for, and will not indemnify any individuals on this list. It is up to the employing individuals to do any background checks or check references.
A certified veterinary technician (CVT) is a person who has graduated from an AVMA-accredited program in veterinary technology and has passed a national exam under Colorado guidelines. CVTs in Colorado are also required to maintain continuing education hours.
The people listed (in alphabetical order) are members in good standing of CACVT. Therefore, the association requests that any inappropriate conduct be reported to CACVT so it can be taken under advisement.
