The NM Veterinary Medical Association has reached out to us to share a survey. Please consider giving them your opinion. The survey closes November 30th at 11:59 p.m.

NMVMA Pulse Survey: Practice, Progress & Possibilities. It’s an essential opportunity for us to hear directly from the entire veterinary team — and we especially want to ensure that vet tech voices are strong in the final dataset.

Why Your Voice Matters Every veterinary professional has a role in shaping the future of veterinary medicine. This survey is one of the most important ways NMVMA can listen and learn from you.

Thank you Practice Managers for all you do!!

So much of a practice manager's work happens behind the scenes—yet their influence is everywhere. This week, we recognize the leaders who make a difference in ways you might not even notice.

Did you know:

In 2020, the New Mexico Legislature enacted the Affordable Spay/Neuter Law, allocating funds to help struggling families get their pets spayed and/or neutered, and it will expire if we don’t ACT. This is good policy: states with similar laws have seen decreases in euthanasia rates.

An excellent example of why the NMRVTA is working for title protection in NM

Veterinary technician title protection simply put, is about honoring commitment and safeguarding public health.

One of our CE sponsors is sponsoring another event. This event was created so that children in this rural area have a safe place to trick-or-treat. If you are nearby, please consider bringing the kiddos in your life! If you are a business, there are still a few spots to participate if you’d like.

Last week, Hannah, your 2025 President-Elect, attended the Southwest Veterinary Symposium in Fort Worth, Texas, as a representative for the NMRVTA. While there, they were invited to speak at the NM Veterinary Medical Association meeting on important changes that are needed to support NM veterinary technicians and assistants, and how both organizations can potentially collaborate to work on mutual goals. It was a productive discussion, and we are looking forward to working more closely with this organization in the future.
