Clinical Practicum
Practicum is the students' opportunity for practical clinical experience during the senior year. Students will have an internship arrangement with a veterinary clinic or related organization. In order to apply for Certification as a Veterinary Assistant, students need at least 300 clinical hours that should be achieved during this internship. Students are expected to work two days during the week - time normally spent in the classroom. Some students may find the need to work outside regular classtime hours/days and may arrange that with their clinic. Students must provide their own transportation.
