Veterinary Technology

Students in Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Veterinary Technology program include traditional in-person labs in basic (anatomy, genetics, chemistry) and clinical sciences (animal restraint, examination, diagnostic testing, nursing) and clinical rotations at local veterinary facilities. Students will be working with live animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, swine, sheep, and rodents.

Learning occurs off-site at facilities located in and around Saskatoon, including at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.  Two, five-week offsite practicums are required in semester five.  Students select their locations in consultation with the program but must include both small animal and large animal practice, or mixed animal practice.
