Do the vet tech classes help the students narrow down their choices of externship sites and eventually help direct students to a career field?
Yes. The VET 210 and VET 220 Clinical Care courses are also referred to as externships. These are graded classes where individual goals are set between you and your placement adviser. You choose externship sites with input from your placement adviser. Your interests and desired experiences are what determines where you extern. This program has over 90 externship sites, and other externship sites can be included if you have a specific place you want to go. Externships range from animal clinics to universities and zoos. One of the reasons for placing students on-site for two different externships is so that students can test the waters in different career fields without committing to a full-time career. A majority of our graduates end up working at one of their externship sites.
