Vet Tech Oath

Indiana Veterinary Technicians
Oath of Ethical Conduct
 
I dedicate myself to serve as a member of the modern veterinary team as together we serve the needs of mankind, animal welfare, and our community
 
Working in a clinical practice, research, or industry, I will faithfully abide by all laws, regulations, and ethical codes that govern veterinary technicians.  I will conduct myself in a manner, which inspires the respect and confidence of my employer, colleagues, and the public.
 
I will seek the mutual exchange of counsel and assistance with the clinical staff when it appears that the quality of service will be improved.  I will strive to better my skills by keeping current my knowledge of new methods and ideas and by maintaining an open mind.
 

Since the veterinary technician is a member of a professional team entrusted with the responsibility of the care and well being of the animal kingdom, I make this oath with utmost sincerity and devotion
