JOIN US NOW


California has long been a driving force in the veterinary technology profession, producing and supporting some of the field’s true movers and shakers. From innovation in clinical practice to leadership in education and advocacy, our state continues to help shape the future of veterinary technology nationwide.

CaRVTA is proud to be at the heart of that momentum. We have maintained a consistent presence at nearly every Veterinary Medical Board meeting, ensuring we stay connected to the evolving needs of the profession and the voices of our community. In recent years, CaRVTA has also earned a seat at the table for critical discussions that directly impact veterinary technicians—most notably our successful efforts in securing title protection for Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) in California. This achievement reflects the strength of our collective advocacy and our ongoing commitment to advancing and protecting our profession.
