March 9, 2005 We had a great continuing education lecture sponsored by Idexx about Diagnostic Hematology by the Veterinary Technician - A critical role that can be played with simple practice. It was held at the Sheraton in Portsmouth, NH and the speaker was Dr.Dennis B. DeNicola, DVM, PhD, DACVP, Chief Veterinary Educator, Clinical Pathologist. Dr DeNicola is an excellent speaker and not only explained about the importance of doing in house and referral lab hematology, he also had excellent slides of blood slides that might be found. This lecture was both technical, and light-hearted as Dr. DeNicola presented his top 10 things to note about red blood cells, white blood cells, and the top 2 items for platelets. |

Jeff Harris from Virbac supplied each technician taking the exam with a hospitality gift bag including a #2 pencil, bottled water, miniature candies and educational materials. Thanks Jeff! |

May 2004 Congratulations to the New Hampshire Community Technical College in Stratham! After years of hard work, Dr. Peg MacGregor, DVM and Lois Senecal, MS, LVT, CVT achieved their goal of attaining full AVMA Accreditation for the Veterinary Technician Program. They are the only AVMA accredited Vet Tech program in the state of New Hampshire. In this two-year Associate Degree in Science program, students have core classes in introduction to veterinary technology, anatomy and physiology, clinical methods, microbiology, large animal management and laboratory animal science. Students also complete two in-hospital internships; an 8-week internship in the summer at the end of their first year of study; and a 12-week internship during the spring of their senior year. During their senior year, each student also does a 3-day rotation in surgery and a 3-day rotation in emergency care. In these rotations they gain valuable experience in emergency medicine and critical care including radiology, phlebotomy, IV catheterization, fluid therapy, pain management, drug calculations, anesthesia induction, monitoring and recovery. |
