Veterinary Medicine Schools and Programs near California

Veterinary technician schools will prepare you for a job as a veterinary technician. Sometimes referred to as "veterinary technologist," a vet tech is very different from a veterinary assistant. A vet tech helps the veterinarian during medical procedures, conducts tests and performs diagnostic evaluations.

Veterinary assistants provide crucial support to the veterinary office. You'll assist the veterinarian in administering medicine, taking x-rays and managing your animal clients. And veterinary assistant training can be completed in less than one year.

If you want to become a certified vet tech or a veterinary assistant, choosing a school is the first step. Read fact sheets and request information from vet tech schools and vet assistant schools that interest you.
