Veterinary Nursing Staff

VSH is extremely proud of our veterinary technicians and assistants.  We search nationally for caring individuals who not only have the knowledge and initiative, but also the teamwork and compassion that is necessary to work in a demanding facility such as ours. 

To be called a veterinary technician, a person must complete a two or four year degree in veterinary technology and then pass national and state certifying examinations. Ten, different, technician training programs are represented among our current staff.  Fifty percent of our technicians have moved from another state to work with us. 

Many opportunities exist for technicians and assistants to learn from each other and from our specialists.  We have created a lecture series as part of our formal training process.  Lectures and laboratories are of increasing complexity and are presented by our doctors and outside experts.  This program is even recognized by the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board as meeting the standards for technician continuing education.
