We are commit ted to offering veterinary technician training that helps veterinarians become m ore effective in caring for their animal patients.” The Heritage Veterinary Technician school program trains veterinary technicians for work in private clinics, laboratories, and animal hospitals. Their jobs may be physically or emotionally demanding, as well as deeply satisfying. Veterinary technicians observe the behavior and condition of animal patients and monitor their clinical symptoms. They can perform emergency first aid or other life-saving procedures. Veterinary technicians are trained to perform laboratory tests and x-rays, and administer medications, vaccines, serums, or treatments a s prescribed by veterinarians. They also administer anesthesia to animals during surgery and provide after surgery care for animals. Their duties may also inclu de collecting, preparing, and labeling samples for laboratory testing, culture, or microscopic examination. Veterinary technicians are valuable to veterinarians because they make it possib le for doctors to treat more animal patients and because they can improve the qu ality of care those patients receive. Students in the Veterinary Technician program will enjoy classroom education plu s hands-on training in the school’s new veterinary laboratory.
