The U.S is a nation of animal lovers, and we need skilled, compassionate animal care professionals to care for them. That could be one reason why the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted that employment of Veterinary Technologists and Technicians will grow 36% by 2018, which is much faster than the average for all occupations*.

The Veterinary Technology associate degree program at our Citrus Heights campus provides students with the hands-on training and valuable experience they need if they wish to succeed in a career as a Veterinary Technician. A profession where, supervised by a licensed veterinarian, they perform a variety of functions within a veterinary practice, from surgical nursing, to laboratory assistance to office administration.

If you’re looking for a vet tech school in Citrus Heights or the Sacramento metro area, you should consider the Vet Tech program at our Carrington College California Citrus Heights campus because:

An accredited Vet Tech program in Citrus Heights, CA

Our Vet Tech training utilizes a skills-based approach to learning because hands-on care in the veterinary technology profession is so important; although students receive formal classroom instruction, laboratory practice on live animals and animal simulators and clinical experience side-by-side with faculty in actual veterinary settings plays a pivotal role as well.  In fact, the Veterinary Technology program at the Citrus Heights campus is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association as a program for educating veterinary technicians, www.avma.org/education/cvea/cvtea_home.asp.
