Registration will open AUGUST 1st, 2024.

The Professionalism & Ethics Workshop (P&E) is required for an individual to obtain their Registered status as outlined in By-Law #2 of the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians. This one-day digital workshop provides a remarkable opportunity to engage in an interactive learning environment alongside practicing and experienced RVTs. The workshop will help participants develop a better understanding of the professionalism and ethics demanded in our highly specialized profession.

The P&E Workshop is intended for students in their FINAL YEAR of a veterinary technology program, Pending Members of the OAVT, or RVTs who want a refresher. First-year students should not be taking the workshop, as they have not yet been taught the materials covered during the Workshop.

Participants will explore real-work situations and challenges faced by RVTs. Specific goals of this workshop include:

• Understanding the importance of a defined protocol in your work environment
• Working with other professionals in a regulated environment
• The potential implications of actions or inaction in a variety of real-life situations
• How professionalism and ethics affect the role of RVTs in a variety of environments
• How to work within the boundaries and requirements of a self-regulated profession

Workshops are facilitated by experienced RVTs who help guide the learning process through real case studies and analysis.

Participants appreciate gaining an eye-opening understanding of the RVT profession from a perspective that will help them feel confident in the workplace when faced with challenging situations and decisions.
