Owensboro Community and Technical College’s Veterinary Technology program has extended its program application deadline to August 1.
The only 2-year fully accredited veterinary technology program in Kentucky, OCTC’s program just celebrated its 10-year anniversary last fall.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are prepared to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE). Areas of study include office and hospital procedures, client relations and communications, anatomy, physiology, parasitology, microbiology, clinical techniques, pharmacology, anesthesiology, surgical and medical nursing, radiology, and clinical pathology training. The Vet Tech program provides valuable real-world clinical and lab experiences to develop the skills needed to become a valued professional in the field.
“Veterinary technicians are the backbone of our industry, aiding veterinarians in providing quality, compassionate care for our patients,” said OCTC Veterinary Technology Program Director Dr. Laura Boarman, DVM. “At OCTC, it is our mission to produce highly trained technicians who will continue to advance the profession and the level of care provided to the animals in our community. As an educator, it is an honor and a privilege to be a part of that mission.”
The Vet Tech program has seen graduates secure positions in diverse settings, including general practices, specialty clinics, the University of Florida, animal shelters, animal rescues, and more.
