Compare the credentialing and regulation of veterinary technicians in the AVMA Model Veterinary Practice Act with the credentialing and regulation of veterinary technicians in the Veterinary Practice Act and Administrative Regulations in the state where you live. Ensure you include some general information about each act, highlighting the similarities and differences between the model practice act and the practice act in your state. Include information about what it means to become a credentialed vet tech and the process to become credentialed in your state.
Important Takeaway Points: Credentialing is a term used to describe the process in which an individual has met licensing standards and qualifications to carry out a task. Each state will have requirements for licensure. A credentialed technician can either be Licensed, Certified (voluntary), or Registered. The AVMA Model Veterinary Practice Act is a set of guidelines for veterinary medicine; it is the responsibility of the individual state to create their own requirements based on what the AVMA recommends. Regulation is an official rule made by government or authority. Keep this in mind as you write your paper.
Your essay should be at least two (2) pages in length, double spaced. A list of references in APA format at the end of your paper is also required. The “Learning Resource Center”, found in your course, is a helpful resource for writing papers.
