The Veterinary Profession






Expenses for veterinary care have climbed to the billions annually. Veterinary clinics need qualified staff. Veterinary Assistants are needed to work with our expanding pet population (Source: Veterinary Practice News). They provide professional support to Veterinarians in the practice of their profession.

Scientific knowledge and skills are used for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, the promotion of public health and advancement of medical knowledge. The expansion of animal health facilities has created thousands of new jobs, which are open to graduates of Veterinary Assistant programs.(Source: Veterinary Practice News)

New challenges and opportunities exist in nursing a sick dog, preparing a cat for a life-saving surgery and helping smaller patients recover quickly. Veterinary Assistants perform a wide range of skills as part of the veterinary medical team. They work at the Veterinarian's side, helping to keep animals healthy. They provide assistance to Veterinarians in primary animal care, radiology, anesthesia, nursing, laboratory tests, surgical assisting, office management and client education. Clients depend on them for a wide range of services including helping prevent and relieve suffering of animals, treating injuries, providing preventive medicine procedures, and education on maximizing pet's lives through better health care. They participate in a variety of exciting and important veterinary services and procedures.
