Veterinary Technology Curriculum Students enroll in a two year program in veterinary technology leading to an Associate's Degree of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology.
The basic two year program is described below. Download the entire course catalog from the home page.
CAVT provides more than just the 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 endeavor to become dynamic team members, effective communicators, pro-active problem solvers, and life-long learners. Every CAVT course encourages these principles. Students can expect a program structured to accomplish two goals:
1. Prepare for the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) allowing for graduate students to become credentialed, and
2. Become a "Champion Veterinary Technician." This concept is described in the Mission Statement of the CAVT: To educate "Champion Veterinary Technicians," individuals with exceptional professional habits, personal habits and skills that include: an ability to provide compassionate care to patients; an ability to provide compassionate and informative information to owners of patients; a desire and ability to embrace lifelong learning--an ability to gain new skills throughout a productive career; an ability to display, adapt to, and learn professional work habits at all times; an ability to display and develop a high degree of professional competency upon delivery of medical services, and; an ability to display and develop outstanding communication skills.
