## Resource

In this episode, Dr. Ernie Ward talks with co-host Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, about the launch of the American Association of Credentialed Veterinary Technicians (AACVT.org), a new organization she co-founded with Ryan Frazier, LVT, BS, MBA. Their goal is not to replace or compete with existing veterinary groups, but to strengthen the profession by filling gaps that many credentialed technicians still experience. Becky and Ryan built AACVT around a simple idea: the profession needs more support, more tools, and more ways for technicians to take action, especially at the state level. Rather than focusing only on awareness, AACVT is designed to provide practical resources, advocacy guidance, and a centralized space where technicians and veterinary teams can connect and grow. The conversation highlights a shift in mindset. This is about adding capacity, not dividing it. By working alongside existing organizations and empowering individuals, AACVT aims to raise the overall standard for technician utilization, recognition, and professional development. For veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and practice leaders, this episode offers a clear look at how collaboration, not competition, may drive the next phase of progress in veterinary medicine. #VeterinaryMedicine #VetTechLife #VetMedCommunity #CredentialedVetTech #VetTeam
