Pharmacy technicians assistant pharmacists in delivering medications to the public. A pharmacy technician may work in a retail pharmacy like Walgreens or in an in-house pharmacy at medical facilities, among other work settings.

Surgical technology training can be completed in as little as 15 months.

Dental Assisting

Dental assistants help hygienists and dentists with routine procedures like passing instruments and sterilizing equipment, and may work to make patients more comfortable as they visit a dental office. Carrington College’s Dental Assisting program includes classes on anatomy, physiology, and radiography, dental sealants and procedures, as well as front office duties and patient care.

Dental Hygiene

During routine office visits, a patient may spend the majority of their time with a dental hygienist. Dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar, polish teeth, and help train patients on good oral health. Students in the Carrington College Dental Hygiene program gain the skills and knowledge to provide comprehensive dental hygiene care. Instruction helps students develop professional communication skills with patients, colleagues and the public, as well as knowledge of ethical standards and professional behavior.

Veterinary Technology

Veterinary technicians work with veterinarians and vet assistants to care for animals in both routine and emergency settings. Vet techs may draw blood, check vitals, administer medications, and communicate with an animal’s owner. You can earn an Associate Degree and prepare for the Veterinary Technician National Examination* in as few as 19 months at our Veterinary Technology program.
