Program Feedbacks:
“Thank you so much for this enlightening, educational time!”
Vanessa Persson – TCVM Veterinary Technician Program, March 1-4, 2007
“As vets, we desperately need staff with some working knowledge of these basic principles in order to address clients’ concerns with intelligent guidance, both in person, and on the phone. Then we have more time to diagnose, needle and pay close attention to the progress of our TCVM patients, knowing that some of the routine work will be caringly handled by a well trained technician who can not only help the animal, but communicate effectively with its owner as well.”
Kim Hombs, DVM – June 2007
