As a licensed veterinary technician, you will be part of a professional team, working side by side with veterinarians. While technicians cannot diagnose illness, prescribe treatment, or perform surgery on animals, they work together to form an effective, highly sophisticated veterinary health care delivery team.

Veterinary technicians perform many of the same kinds of activities as human nurses and medical technologists. Their work is very "hands-on" with animals and their owners. Veterinary technicians perform a variety of tasks, allowing the veterinarians to concentrate on diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases.

Graduates of this program are prepared to perform various duties, such as: preparing patients for surgery, perform diagnostic and laboratory tests, sample collection, and much more.
