Students enrolled in the two-year Diploma in Veterinary Technology at Douglas College will learn how to become a valuable member of the veterinary medical team. Students get both theoretical and practical training in medical and surgical nursing, anesthesia, anatomy and physiology, radiography, dentistry, laboratory procedures, nutrition, pharmacology, workplace communications and more.
Students will get hands-on experience working with small and large animals on campus or at off-site facilities including veterinary clinics, stables, farms, and animal care centres.
Upon graduation, students are eligible to take the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE). Once graduates have passed the exam, they can register in Canada and in many parts of the United States as a Registered Veterinary Technologist.
