Veterinary Technology: Degree Program
Program Website http://www.mdc.edu/medical/AHT/Vet/default.aspProgram Description
The Veterinary Technology Program provides learning experiences that enable the student to acquire and assimilate the necessary technical competencies to function effectively as a supportive health care provider in the profession. A veterinary technician is a rewarding profession with many opportunities for the graduate to grow and develop special interests in the vast field of veterinary medicine. Veterinary technicians typically conduct clinical work in a private practice under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian performing various medical tests and treat and diagnose medical conditions and diseases in animals. Some veterinary technicians record patients' case histories, expose and develop x rays and radiographs, and provide specialized nursing care. Veterinary technicians assisting small-animal practitioners usually care for small pets, such as cats and dogs, but can perform a variety of duties with mice, rats, sheep, pigs, cattle, monkeys, birds, fish, and frogs. Additional employment opportunities for veterinary technicians can be found in research facilities under the guidance of veterinarians or physicians.
