NEWS TIPS
Are you a cat person or a dog person? Can’t decide? No matter — if you have a love of all animals big and small, you may be perfect for a veterinary career.
In Gwinnett Tech’s Veterinary Technology program, you’ll learn the highly specialized knowledge and techniques to work with animals in a variety of settings. Classes in the program will give you a comprehensive foundation in animal anatomy, laboratory and office procedures, and animal care techniques.
Veterinarians rely on the skills of veterinary technicians to provide superior animal care. These technicians do many of the same tasks for a veterinarian that nurses would for a physician. Veterinary technicians most often work with small-animal practitioners who care for cats and dogs, but they may also do a variety of tasks with mice, sheep, pigs, cattle and birds. You can choose to start your career with a vet practice or zoo, focus on research or concentrate on veterinary products sales and development.
Graduates of GTC’s Veterinary Technology associate degree program are eligible to sit for the Veterinary Technology National Examination and become qualified as a registered veterinary technician in the state of Georgia. GTC offers an associate degree in Veterinary Technology.
