Exploring the path of a Veterinary Technician Specialist in Physical Rehabilitation

Embarking on a career in veterinary medicine is a noble pursuit, driven by deep love for animals and the desire to improve their lives. For many, the journey begins with becoming a veterinary technician, a role that contains medical expertise with compassionate care. Some of us, however, will take it a step further, and decide to specialize in what makes us passionate about veterinary medicine. For me, it was physical rehabilitation. I remember seeing my very first limping dog, and wondered what I could do to make it better. He was an older dog, and surgery was not really an option. So, what WERE the options?
​
It was a long time ago, and physical rehabilitation it was in its infancy where I am from. At the time, I was working with a veterinarian that had an affinity for orthopaedic surgery. She showed me how motion and mobility can affect just about everything. I caught the bug and needed to know more.
 
I researched continuing education programs and found the Canine Rehabilitation Institute.
