RVTs are trained professionals who work as highly skilled assistants to veterinarians and researchers. The program offers a rigorous yet rewarding academic curriculum while providing ample hands-on experience. Students obtain a working knowledge of animal behavior, restraint, nutrition, and nursing, along with performing emergency care, anesthesia, dental care, surgical assistance and laboratory procedures.
