Welcome!Thank you for visiting the Academy of Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Technicians and Nurses (AVECCTN) website. AVECCTN is the first organization to be recognized by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (formerly known as the North American Veterinary Technicians Association) as a veterinary technician specialty. Veterinary Technicians who successfully meet the credential requirements and pass the AVECCTN examination are designated as Veterinary Technician Specialists (Emergency & Critical Care). In January 2019, AVECCT Members overwhelmingly voted to change our name to AVECCTN. As our membership becomes more global, we have more and more members who are legally known as Nurses. We are currently in transition between the two names and expect to be fully and legally known as AVECCTN soon!!
