Accredited VT Programs in Ontario

WOW! I was amazed to see, while searching through the OAVT website, that there are now 9 accreditied veterinary technology (VT) college programs in Ontario! http://www.oavt.org/colleges.htm . When I graduated just a short time ago in 2002...it seems...there were only 4 programs that had accredited status. It goes to show that the veterinary industry is definetly growing by leaps and bounds everyday. In Ontario if you want (after you have your diploma in Veterinary Technology) to continue on and write the VTNE (Veterinary Technician National Exam) to receive your Registered status you must be a graduate from an approved accredited college and be a member of the OAVT. Right now this accreditation is granted by the OAVT after certian criteria and standards are met for the program. WAY TO GO! to all the programs who have been sucessfull in aquiring this status. You are helping to "raise the bar" in veterinary technology!
