What is the Veterinary Technology Program like at Delgado?
The Delgado Veterinary Technology Program provides students with a high quality fundamental and practical education in both the college classroom and veterinary clinical settings. Students attend lecture classes and some of the laboratory classes at the Delgado City Park Campus. Students practice many of their learned clinical skills in local veterinary and animal facilities. Students also are placed into three different externships during their time in the Program. These externships give them a variety of veterinary practice settings to work in, as well as opportunities to work in locations that work with animals such as the zoo, animal shelters, and research facilities. Each of the externships lasts 300 hours during a semester, and provides the student with broad exposure to various settings working with animals. The locations for externships are selected by the students with the help of the Program Clinical Coordinator.
