Veterinary Technician Information

Continuing Education Program

The Veterinary Technology program at Colby Community College is based on American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines and is approved by the Kansas Veterinary Medical Association. It was examined by the AVMA Committee on Activities and Training for Animal Technicians in September, 1974, and accredited in December of that year. Full accreditation has been maintained since that time.

An Associate in Applied Science Degree is earned by those completing this course of study. Graduates take a state qualifying examination to attain the title of Kansas Registered Veterinary Technician.

The program is directed by a Kansas licensed veterinarian. All clinical instruction is given by professional personnel in a school clinical pathology laboratory using small and large animal x-ray, surgical nursing and animal nursing facilities.
