Blood-Horse Headlines on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 New York State regulators have given final approval to a rule allowing the use of veterinary technicians at racetracks across the state. The rule OK'd by the New York State Gaming Commission "will authorize the use of less expensive, appropriately supervised veterinary technicians to make it more feasible for horsepersons and racetrack operators to deliver veterinary care to horses engaged in racing or stabled on the grounds of a licensed racetrack,'' according to the agency's written justification for the change.

In this past crazy year of 2020 Pandemic, so much has changed in how we communicate, how we handle our emotions and how we view our patients and their owners. We have been charged with learning and utilizing new technologies and adding, or in some cases deleting, our common practices. I wonder, is this the “New Norm”? Because of this, have we lost our empathy and have we disassociated ourselves from our basic principles? Or…. Has it made us more aware, more in tune with our clients and have we worked harder...

Elyse Rowley, 2021 AAEVT President[/caption]
Hello all!
I’m your 2021 AAEVT President and I’m so excited to see what this year has in store for us! Yes, I’m actually excited, because, like most of you, I enjoy a challenge. COVID-19 may be the most unusual challenge that most of us have faced, but it’s a challenge nonetheless and I think it gives us an opportunity to shine. We, as technicians, assistants and support staff, can really show our adaptability and ingenuity in helping all of our practices to come up with the best ways to adapt to an ever-changing business model.
Let me back up just a little and introduce myself…I live on the beautiful Central Coast of California and work in internal medicine. Aside from a few small animal vet clinic jobs growing up, my real tech career started at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center following graduate school. A friend told me about her incredible medicine vet at Alamo who I just HAD to meet and I shortly found myself with a job in the ICU! Working in a busy referral hospital with amazing people taught me SO much but after having my daughter, the unpredictable schedule of the ICU was going to be tough to mesh with being a new mom. The same incredible medicine vet that I started with at Alamo had also become a mom and started a small, niche mobile internal medicine practice and wanted my help. So, I went from a hospital setting to a field setting with Riviera Equine Medicine and Consulting and I feel that it has been invaluable in regards to understanding both sides of our profession. Working in a hospital and working in the field are drastically different but similar to the front office and back in any practice, the two go hand in hand and each have their strengths. The trick is knowing what you do well and doing it, while developing productive and positive relationships with those who do the things that you don’t do.
