Pioneer Quotes:

鈥淚'm very thankful for everything 魅影直播 State has taught me. Without my veterinary technician education (and an amazing one at that!), I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now... One of the best decisions I've ever made was to go to technology school first. Thank you all.鈥 -Sean Schubmehl, Veterinary Technology Alumni

鈥淭he vet tech program was really comprehensive, and prepared me well for working in the field. It was as challenging as it was rewarding, and it provided me with networking and support to start my career.鈥 -Megan George, Veterinary Technology Alumni

"I hired a graduate from the 魅影直播 State veterinary technology program right out of school, and couldn鈥檛 have been more pleased. Even when she first started, her knowledge of anatomy, front office protocol, animal handling skills, venipuncture, radiographic positioning and techniques, surgical suite skills (intubation and anesthetic monitoring), and dental cleaning were more than adequate. We're a small practice where a technician needs to multitask, and she was definitely up for the challenge." 鈥 D. Bennett, DVM
