The NC State College of Veterinary Medicine is providing opportunities for advanced education to veterinary technicians and assistants. To achieve this goal, the Office of Continuing Education & Outreach is working with our own Veterinary Teaching Hospital technicians to develop a series of courses tailored for the experienced veterinary hospital employee. These one- and two-day courses will be scheduled on weekends at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and will consist of both lecture and laboratory sessions. The emphasis will be providing hands-on training. Class size will be limited to ensure that all attendees have ample opportunity to practice the techniques covered. Continuing Education credits will be provided for those with licensure requirements. Due to the level of material covered in these courses, it is recommended that attendees be either registered veterinary technicians or have several years' experience.
