American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) · AAVSB 2023 VTNE Content Outline, approved March 2023 and linked from the current official study page on 2026-10-20. The outline states its approval date but no separate implementation date. The workbook label is mapped through documented historical US terminology: Pennsylvania's April 13, 2002 regulation explicitly identified the VTNE as the examination for animal health technician certification; the current regulation uses veterinary technician certification. The assigned slug is preserved. This mapping does not establish a separate current examination named Animal Health Technician Certification.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
