Caffeinators, buckle your seatbelts for this one.  We saw in a NAVTA newsletter a few months back a blurb about the formation of the Malaysian Association of Veterinary Nurses and Assistants, or MAVNA, and I knew right away we needed to talk to them. I emailed them and Su Via wrote back and this episode was born. She is a veterinary technician student through Purdue University's distance learning program and attends from her home country of Malaysia. She talks extensively about the role of the veterinary nurse and veterinary assistant in Malaysia, and let's just say if you think utilization is poor in the US, you're gonna want to hear what she has to say. But it is truly inspiring to hear her talk about her passion in improving that, starting MAVNA, and working to change the perception of these professionals in Malaysia and take the burden off of their veterinarians. Wow, this episode is an eye-opener.
