RVTTC and Hill’s Pet Nutrition announce the 2020 Canadian RVT of the Year Award winner – Ms. Julia Bitan!!!!

Julia a member of the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians, has exemplified the definition of an outstanding individual in the RVT profession during her career as a dedicated OAVT member and her dedication to increase the safety of the veterinary team through Hands-Free Radiology.

Nominations for this award are submitted annually from provincial member associations and are reviewed carefully by the RVTTC Board of Directors in an effort of choosing a candidate that exemplifies the definition of an outstanding individual in the profession of veterinary technology. Selecting award winners can be quite difficult, especially with over 8700 RVTs across Canada.

The nomination letter received from the OAVT clearly shares Julia’s drive and passion to make a positive impact in the safety of our RVT’s and their veterinary team members. The commitment she demonstrate to investigate, research, and educate herself in all details surrounding the use of radiation in the veterinary workplace. Creating and delivering the Hands-Free Xrays training has made a significant impact on both the health and safety but also the production of quality radiographs utilizing techniques for the benefit of both the RVT and the patient. Julia has also been active volunteer as a past member of the OAVT board of directors. As a sought-after speaker in Ontario, Canada and around the globe, Julia continues to share her commitment to providing Hands Free Xray training to all members of the veterinary community.

Congratulations Julia!!! Thank you for all you do to keep us safe!!

Thank you to Hills Pet Nutrition for their support of RVTs!!
