How can new technicians find community and support, especially in smaller clinics or rural areas?

All of those questions and more will be answered at The MAVT Presents: Sustaining the Spark - Career Longevity & Sustainability in Vet Med.

Hear from technicians both local (Jordin Tillson, Heidi Reuss-Lamky) and national (Oreta Samples, Ken Yagi) in a RACE approved Round Table for you and about your wellness!
