The Veterinary Assisting Program (VAP) is a new addition to the Veterinary Technology Department at Cedar Valley. Two tracks will be available: 1) The Small Animal Veterinary Assisting Certificate, and 2) The Large Animal Veterinary Assisting Certificate. The VAP is a certificate program that requires students to complete from 16 to 20 semester credit hours depending on which certificate is pursued.  Veterinary Assistants are a valuable part of the veterinary health care team.  They serve to assist both the veterinarian and the veterinary technician in a practice setting.

Students who complete the VAP can continue their education in the CVC Veterinary Technology Program and become a credentialed technician if they choose. If you need more information or have questions, contact the Program Director, Aleice Summers, 972-860-8194. You may also email her at PAS3505@dcccd.edu.
