Associate Veterinary information

What jobs can you get with an Associates in veterinary technology?

An associate degree in veterinary technology qualifies graduates for roles such as veterinary technician or technologist, working alongside veterinarians in clinics, hospitals, or research facilities. These positions involve tasks like animal care, diagnostic testing, and assisting with surgeries, often requiring certification or licensing depending on the region.

What does a vet associate do?

A veterinary associate is a licensed veterinarian who provides medical care to animals, including diagnosing illnesses, performing surgeries, and prescribing treatments. They work in veterinary clinics or hospitals, often collaborating with veterinary technicians and staff, and may handle client communication and record-keeping.

Can you be a vet with an associate's degree?

An associate's degree alone does not qualify someone to become a licensed veterinarian, as veterinary medicine requires a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from an accredited program and passing licensing exams. However, an associate's degree can prepare individuals for support roles such as veterinary technician or assistant, which involve assisting veterinarians in clinical tasks and animal care. These roles often require certification or licensing specific to veterinary support staff but do not allow independent veterinary practice.

Can I be a vet assistant with no experience?

Veterinary assistant positions often do not require prior experience, as on-the-job training is common. Basic skills such as animal handling, communication, and a willingness to learn are valuable, and some employers may prefer candidates with related certifications or coursework. Entry-level roles typically focus on supporting veterinarians and veterinary technicians in daily tasks.

Job description

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them. 

Students will work closely with the supervising Associate Veterinarians to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.  

Most externship experiences at Midland Animal Clinic range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program.
