Overview

Agriculture is one of the most important areas students could choose because it addresses a basic human need—food and other natural resources. The Veterinary Technology program at APSU provides the rigorous training to prepare students for employment in veterinary technology, one of the fastest growing career fields nationwide. Veterinary Technology students will have a strong interest in animal science and husbandry, animal behavior, and animal health and disease. Most will have a passion for helping animals. Important qualities for a future vet tech to possess are: Communication skills: Veterinary technologists and technicians communicate with supervisors, other staff, and animal owners. A growing number of technicians counsel pet owners on animal behavior and nutrition. Compassion: Veterinary technologists and technicians must treat animals with kindness and must be sensitive when dealing with the owners of sick pets. Detail oriented: Veterinary technologists and technicians must pay attention to detail. They must be precise when recording information, performing diagnostic tests, and administering medication. Manual dexterity: Veterinary technologists and technicians must handle animals, medical instruments, and laboratory equipment with care. They need a steady hand for intricate tasks such as doing dental work, giving anesthesia, and taking x rays. Physical strength: Veterinary technologists and technicians need to be able to manage and lift animals. The Veterinary Technology Concentration provides intensive study of the didactic and hands-on skills and knowledge needed to work competently as a veterinary technician including anatomy, physiology, microbiology, clinical techniques, pharmacology, anesthesiology, surgical and medical nursing, dental techniques, radiology, and clinical pathology training. This concentration is initially accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities. A 1:8 faculty to student ratio for live animal handling provides a thorough and focused learning experience.
