Profile: Veterinary Technician or Assistant

Those who love animals and would like to work with them may enjoy working as a veterinary technician or assistant. A veterinary technician is one of the various types of medical assistants in the field of medicine and health. These technicians work with veterinarians and perform clinical and laboratory duties.
Veterinary technicians have formal training and may need to pass an exam. This type of training is available at schools, colleges, or universities. After completing the exam, students may receive a diploma or certificate.

Employment is growing rapidly and oftentimes remains relatively stable during economic recessions. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov), veterinary technicians are less likely to experience layoffs than some other occupations because animals will continue to require medical care. For further information, try the Care for Animals website at www.avma.org.
