Welcome to the Veterinary Technology Program<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535655685202{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Veterinary technicians are trained in the care and handling of animals, the basic principles of normal and abnormal physiology, and in routine diagnostic and therapeutic clinical procedures. Veterinary technicians work under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian, performing a wide variety of tasks. Once credentialed, veterinary technicians can also specialize in a particular discipline. Specialties include dentistry, anesthesia, surgery, emergency and critical care, internal medicine, clinical pathology, nutrition, equine nursing and zoological medicine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1772738451885{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Austin Community College is working with area animal shelters to find forever homes for pets who have been socialized and cared for by students in the Veterinary Technology Program.
