Our Veterinary Assistant Certificate Program recently witnessed a heartwarming milestone: the graduation of a dedicated cohort of aspiring veterinary professionals. These graduates have completed an intensive curriculum built by Central Veterinary Technician Specialists, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the field of veterinary medicine as a Veterinary Assistant.
A Bright Future Ahead
As these newly minted Veterinary Assistants step into their careers, they carry with them a passion for the animal-human bond, a commitment to medical excellence, and a desire to make a difference. Whether assisting in surgeries, comforting anxious pets, hospital husbandry, or educating pet owners, they are poised to contribute significantly to the well-being of your pets.
Out of this group of 14 graduates, 7 students obtained jobs before the program even ended (pending their passing the final exam), 3 of them got hired at their externship sites, and all are moving forward in their veterinary careers.
