About the P&E
The 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 outcome of the seminar will be to develop an 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 take the workshop, as they have not yet been taught the materials covered during the workshop.
Participants will explore real work situations and challenges of being a professional RVT. Specific goals of this tailored 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.
Workshop materials and presentations are facilitated and led by practiced 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 enable them to feel confident in the workplace when faced with challenging situations and decisions.
