Veterinary Technician Research Papers

Veterinary Technician Veterinary Technicians are the people who check your animal 's weight and look to see if there are any visual problems with them when bringing them to the Veterinarian office. I chose this career because I have always been a huge fan of all kinds of animals. I wasn’t aloud to have animals when I was younger so I became more interested in them. Veterinary technicians also have many different jobs other than checking weight and making sure nothing is visually wrong with the pet. They also do dental cleaning, occasionally take blood and stool samples for the veterinarian (Pearson). People think vet technicians don’t do a lot of jobs but adding up everything they do on a normal day basis, what they are required to remember,

The qualifications to become a veterinary technician are you have to have an associates degree. An associates degree only consists of two years of school and they are offered at almost every college. It is suggested to take high school biology and other science classes during high school due to the fact that technicians need to know the different type of tissues. muscles, and bones in different types of animals. To become certified, people must have, work experience in a lab animal facility and pass the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science also called the AALAS (“Summary”).

She also said to me “ Personally I would watch some youtube videos on what vet technicians do because not all offices are the same”. Carmen Pearson told me during our facetime interview was that I need to think about what type of animals I would like to work with.
