The website aims to assist those aspiring to become a veterinary technician in finding the key information they need in order to make the right decisions with regards to pursuing a career in the field.
In an economy that has yet to fully recover from the last recession and continues to be plagued with high unemployment rates, veterinary technicians continue to be in great demand. In fact, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for vet techs is slated to enjoy a whopping 52 percent rate of growth over the next several years, a substantially higher number than the average rate for all other occupation which hovers around 14 percent. Vet techs earn around $30,000 annually.
The job of a veterinary technician consists of performing medical tests, under the watch of a licensed veterinarian, to help diagnose and treat animal injuries and illnesses. The position is ideal for pet lovers as they get to spend their day handling and caring for our little fury friends. However, Online Veterinary Technician School cautions that the job comes with a variety of responsibilities, and while being an animal lover certainly helps, it is not necessarily enough to excel in the career.
To become a veterinary technician, candidates are required to complete a 2 year degree program, at the minimum. Following completion of the program, the candidate will need to pass the Veterinary National Examination administered by the AAVSB, American Association of Veterinary State Boards. Those looking to acquire a position in a research lab should take the exam given by the American Association of Laboratory Animal Sciences (AALAS).
The website emphasizes the fact that candidates need to ensure the training program is offered by a school that is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA); otherwise, they will not be eligible to take the national licensing exam upon completion of the program. There are accredited schools that offer vet tech programs throughout the country.
