Northern College’s Veterinary Technician program is an accredited two-year diploma that will set learners up for a front-line job at a zoo, animal shelter, research facility, and beyond. Learn how to manage a veterinary practice and acquire the expertise to counsel clients about optimal pet nutrition.
Along the way, learn to recognize the behavioural signs of small animals, and even explore nursing, lab work, anesthesia, surgical assistance, prophylactic dental procedures, and more.
Students will learn to perform basic patient examination, collect data on vital signs, administer medications and prepare pharmaceuticals as prescribed by a veterinarian. They will explore anesthesia, animal nursing, surgical assistance, dental prophylactic procedures, diagnostic laboratory work and tests, such as blood chemistries, culture and sensitivity, and electrocardiograms. This program covers veterinary practice management skills including computer applications, recognizing behavioral signs of small animals, and educating and counseling clients in pet nutrition.
