JJC Vet Assistant Program

Although this page is dedicated to the Veterinary Assistant program, we wanted to take some time to talk about some differences between what is a Veterinary Assistant and a Certified Veterinary Technician. JJC has programs for both career paths and both teams will be at Discover JJC this Saturday 11/8 from 9am to 12pm in the B Building, so please stop by and ask us any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you!

Muzzles are not a bad thing! I know it’s is easy to see muzzles as bad or scary but in some cases it can help relieve patient stress. Especially in our cat patients who prefer to not watch 🙈
Our students not only practice how to place muzzles during our demo labs on stuffed animals, but also get to practice on our lovely animal volunteers. Don’t worry Kit I’m sure was rewarded for her good behavior 🐱🐾

We wrapped our restraint labs this week but fine tuning those skills is never done! Proper restraint is important to keep not only the pet but veterinary staff safe, and is one of the most important skills our VTA students will learn. Our students will now continue to practice these skills throughout our class as well as when they go to their clinical practicum. Also as always we are appreciative of our animal volunteers who allow the students to get that hands on experience!
