Veterinary assistants are becoming more important as valued members of the
veterinary health care team in today's modern practices. This one-year program
prepares you to support veterinary technicians and veterinarians in a veterinary
practice.
Duties performed by veterinary assistants include animal restraint,
preparing animals for surgery, care of surgical instruments and other equipment,
care and feeding of in-patients, processing radiographs, and front office
procedures. Veterinary assistants are not trained to give injections, take blood
samples, perform laboratory procedures, administer anesthetics, monitor patients
during anesthesia or assist in surgery. |

The Animal Behavior College (ABC) Veterinary Assistant Training Program is
designed for anyone wishing to pursue a successful career as a Certified
Veterinary Assistant. The program is structured to offer you the convenience and
cost of a home-study program with the added benefit of working one-on-one with
veterinary professionals in hospital and clinical settings.
Once a strong foundation has been established,
you will be given the opportunity to work with veterinary professionals in your
area. Animal Behavior College will set you up for your externship in a
veterinary clinic or hospital where you will apply all that you learned at home
in an actual working environment.
Throughout this stage of the program, you will
be working with veterinarians, veterinary technicians and other veterinary
assistants as you apply all of the knowledge you have acquired during the
in-home study portion of the program in a real-life professional environment.
During this time you will obtain valuable hands-on experience that is so widely
sought after when applying for employment after graduation.
