AVST Seeking Donations of Gently Used Textbooks  

The Academy of Veterinary Surgical Technicians (AVST) would sincerely appreciate donations from ACVS members of gently used textbooks. These publications will be used for creating the AVST qualifying examination. Donated textbooks (published after 2001) should contain subject matter such as wound care, rehabilitation, surgical techniques, anatomy & physiology, laser surgery, instrumentation, etc., for small animal, large animal and exotic species. Donations that will be useful include the textbooks from the ACVS Examination reading list, although textbooks in related areas will be needed as well.
