EDUCATION The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is responsible for Accrediting School s with either a 2-year Associate's Degree or a (rarely offered) 4-year Bachelor's Degree . The organization just recently started to accredit schools that offer Distance Education . Different states have different titles for veterinary technicians. Some call them Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT), some, Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT), and still others Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT). However, graduates of any AVMA accredited program may take a national certification exam (and in some states a state exam and/or references are required as well) and, upon passing, become certified/registered/licensed in any state. The technician is then subject to the regulations of the state Veterinary Medical Practice Act of the state she or he practices in. SEE ALSO REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS
