Career and Communication Guide for Equine Technicians

Equine medicine is unique, and so are veterinary technicians. They are the bridge between the client and the veterinarian, providing highly skilled care, acting as a communication hub, ensuring patients are treated properly — and much more. They’ve come a long way from being the person who held the horse while the veterinarian provided all the care.

Equine technicians today are valued and valuable team members. And, as the number of equine veterinarians decrease, the need for skilled equine techs will increase, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
