They dedicate their lives to aiding in the treatment of animals and relieving suffering, serving as each patient's main advocate and caretaker. The veterinary technician holds a unique role in patient care. Acting as the intermediary between the veterinarian prescribing treatment and the patient, they play a large part in the communication and education of clients. Veterinary technicians have greatly expanded their roles and find themselves not only an integral part of veterinary practice, but in research institutions, animal shelters, and universities as well.This text explores difficult situations veterinary technicians face on a daily basis through the use of case examples and dialogue. Each case scenario describes a real-life situation for a veterinary technician, poses thought-provoking questions, and provides commentary that focuses on the legal aspect of the scenario, the social or personal ethics of the parties involved, and/or the welfare of the animal (s). The case scenarios encompass clinical situations in a practice setting as well as situations involving business ethics and interpersonal relationships between colleagues.The case format of the book lends itself to discussion and can be utilized in veterinary technology courses that focus on ethics, communications, management, and leadership. The real-life case examples make the book an enjoyable read for practicing veterinary technicians as well. There currently are over two hundred veterinary technology programs and thousands of practicing veterinary technicians within the United States and Canada. 410 0$aNew directions in the human-animal bond. 606 $aVeterinary medicine$xethics 606 $aEthics, Professional 606 $aAnimal Technicians 608 $aElectronic books. 615 20$aVeterinary medicine$xethics. 615 10$aEthics, Professional 615 10$aAnimal Technicians 676 $a179/.3 700 $aKerr$b Andrea DeSantis$f1976-$01809593 702 $aTran$b Christina V. 702 $aWalsh$b Jamie Schoenbeck$f1955- 702 $aBill$b Robert 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972994103321 996 $aExploring the Gray Zone$94360464 997 $aUNINA
