A graduate of MDC’s Veterinary Technology program is eligible to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Exam and become a Certified Veterinary Technician. Upon graduation, the graduate will be able to perform a wide array of medical tests and procedures in several clinical settings from small animal, large animal, exotics and laboratory animals.
