Today's Veterinary Technician Tomorrow

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2004-05 Edition, Employment of veterinary technologists and technicians is expected to increase 27 percent or more.  In other words, job openings are expected to grow much faster than the average for all veterinary technologists and technician occupations through 2012.  Pet owners are becoming more affluent and more willing to pay for advanced care because many of them consider their pet to be part of the family, spurring employment growth for veterinary technologists and technicians.   Biomedical facilities, diagnostic laboratories, wildlife facilities, humane societies, animal control facilities, drug or food manufacturing companies, and food safety inspection facilities will provide more jobs for veterinary technologists and technicians.  A major benefit of National American University’s Veterinary Technology program is the hands-on experience and students receive an extensive base of core classes with nearly 60 percent of courses in the major field of study.  A National American University Veterinary Technology graduate is, not surprisingly, qualified to take the National Veterinary Technician Exam and any state examinations required for registration, certification or licensure.
