Veterinarian Technician Education
Courses (VTEC) offers specialized in-hospital training for
the entire staff. Our programs are designed to increase
knowledge and understanding of the veterinary team so each
employee can become a more integral part of the hospital,
become a better resource to the veterinarian, clients and
patients, and increase the productivity and effectiveness of
the hospital. VTEC also aims to give hospital team members
the opportunity to refine and excel in their field, and
allow the veterinarian to focus on medicine and care of the
patient. VTEC offers in hospital full staff training
specialized to the needs of each hospital team. Programs can
range from 4-8 hours in each of the following topics:
