Pima Medical Institute Launches Veterinary Technician Associate Degree Program at its San Marcos Campus
San Marcos, Calif. (November 27, 2018) – Pima Medical Institute has officially launched the Veterinary Technician associate degree program at its San Marcos campus. For more than 45 years, Pima Medical Institute has been dedicated to providing its students with the in-demand, hands-on education employers expect. Opened in 2017, the San Marcos campus is Pima Medical’s newest location serving the San Diego and surrounding community.
Veterinary technicians are animal nurses. They are passionate about animal care and are dedicated healthcare professionals who nurture the health and well-being of animals through specialized knowledge of animal behavior and care, surgical assisting, laboratory testing and nursing procedures. It’s a rewarding career for an animal lover.
“Thanks to our hands-on learning and real-world lab classrooms, our veterinary technician students will leave this program qualified to work closely with veterinarians in everything from surgery to lab procedures and more,” said Pima Medical Institute San Marcos Campus Director, DeWayne Johnson. “Upon graduation our students will find diverse employment opportunities. While some might choose a clinic or veterinary office setting, others might find work in an animal park, or even a zoo treating domestic and exotic animals.”
