Owensboro Community & Technical College’s Veterinary Technology program is hosting open houses to attract students interested in turning their passion for animals into a healthcare career. The virtual events are scheduled for March 19 and April 23, both at 3 p.m.
Interested students can find links to the events on OCTC’s Facebook Page.
The Vet Tech program provides real-world clinical and lab experiences to develop the skills needed to become a valued professional in the field. These open houses are designed to give prospective students an overview of the program and demonstrations to simulate the lab experience.
Upon completion of the two-year program, graduates are prepared to sit for the Veterinary Technican National Exam (VTNE). Areas of study include office and hospital procedures; client relations and communications; anatomy; physiology; parasitology; microbiology; clinical techniques; pharmacology; anesthesiology; surgical and medical nursing; radiology; and clinical pathology training.
OCTC’s vet tech program is a selective admissions program and has a limited number of seats available each year.
Deadline for applications for Fall 2021 is May 1. Individual or small group tours, and class shadowing can be arranged on an individual basis.
