Veterinary Technology Program Applications Accepted at Edison State
Edison State Community College is currently accepting program
applications for the Associate of Applied Science degree in Veterinary
Technology.
The Veterinary Technology program at Edison State will train students
to work in the field of veterinary medicine as a veterinary technician.
Graduates of the program will be prepared to provide care under the
supervision of a licensed veterinarian in the areas of animal
husbandry, restraint, nursing, surgical preparation and assistance,
drug administration, anesthesia, laboratory techniques, dentistry, and
radiography at private practices, emergency hospitals, specialty
offices, research facilities, diagnostic laboratories, and zoos.
Clinical experience in various facilities, including private practices
and emergency medical centers, will also provide students with
on-the-job training.
The Veterinary Technology program at Edison State was established in
2019 to meet the demand of a rapidly growing and continuously evolving
field of work.
Labor trends indicate that the Veterinary Technology career field is
growing at a much faster rate than the average for all occupations. The
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that opportunities in this
field are expected to increase by 19-percent from 2018 to 2028, with
130,500 jobs projected nationwide by 2028.
