Veterinary Technicians are supervised in their work by licensed veterinarians; they perform a variety of duties in a veterinary practice that make them versatile and valued members of staff. Veterinary Technology is definitely a career choice for animal lovers, but you do have to be emotionally tough. They assist with surgical nursing, help with laboratory tasks, and carry out office administration functions.

This versatility, and the fact that pet ownership is increasing, means that Veterinary Technology is a growing profession; in fact employment of Veterinary Technicians is forecast to grow 36% by 2018 and that's much faster than the average for all occupations.*

A practical, skills-based Vet Tech program in San Jose

Veterinary Technology is a hands-on profession and it can be physically challenging; have you ever tried to convince a 90lb German Shepherd to hold still for an x-ray? It's a profession that demands a practical education that allows students to take the theory and put it into practice. 

That's why our San Jose Veterinary Technology faculty use a skills-based approach to learning. There are formal classroom lectures, but our students also get the chance to work with animals and animal simulators in frequent lab practice sessions. They also get invaluable clinical experience working side-by-side with veterinarians in a real animal care setting in San Jose.  

Graduates of the San Jose Vet Tech degree program should have the skills and the confidence to:

• Collect patient information and maintain medical records
• Assist veterinarians as they perform diagnostic and surgical procedures
• Collect lab specimens
• Assist with radiography (x-rays) and dental prophylaxes
• Display their critical thinking and information management skills
