When the whole veterinary team has the education they need, everyone wins! CVMA is pleased to recognize all of our certified veterinary assistants (CVA). These veterinary assistants have completed the education required and gained the experience needed to earn certification as certified veterinary medical personnel.
The CVA program is a learn-on-the job vocational training experience that covers the basic fundamentals of veterinary medicine and animal care and handling. The CVA program offers three levels, each level advancing and fine-tuning the skills of veterinary assistants. Originally developed by the Texas VMA and Animal Care Technologies, CVMA is pleased to provide access to this program as a CVMA member benefit for a nominal fee.
Interested in learning more about the program for yourself or for a veterinary assistant in your practice? The CVA program not only provides your staff the necessary training for day-to-day tasks to further their education, but also helps support the veterinarian and other veterinary staff in their roles as well.
