CAVT provides more than just the basic, required curriculum. Each student will become a well informed, scientific technician and a valued hands-on team member for any veterinary clinic, business, or organization.
In addition, CAVT students will become dynamic team members, effective communicators, pro-active problem solvers, and life-long learners. Every CAVT course encourages these principles.
These are the critical virtues essential to the highly skilled technician: one who provides compassionate, humane care to their patients and their care takers—a technician who is knowledgeable, skillful, and articulate.
