Note: At this present time, NAVTA does not recognize certification in Rehabilitation for Veterinary Technicians. We realize there is a great deal of time, energy and effort the rehabilitation professionals in Veterinary Medicine endure to become credentialed in rehabilitation. The members behind the Academy of Physical Rehabilitation Veterinary Technicians (APRVT) feel that by creating a VTS in rehabilitation, utilizing the rigorous NAVTA requirements, will aid in providing all credentialed rehabilitation veterinary technicians the next step in becoming widely recognized as experts in our field
