NCC Student Club Donates to Nash County Animal Shelter

The Nash Community College student chapter of the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America recently donated 972 pounds of food and supplies to the Nash County Animal Shelter. Over the course of a month, students collected items from community members, students, faculty, and staff.

Nash County Animal Control Supervisor Matt Ingram was presented the donation.

The Veterinary Medical Technology program curriculum is designed to prepare students to assist veterinarians in preparing animals for examination and surgery as vet techs. Some tasks include collecting specimens; performing laboratory, radiographic, anesthetic and dental procedures; assisting in surgery; and providing proper care for animals and their environment.

Vet Tech coursework focuses on anatomy, nutrition, parasitology, pathology, physiology, radiology, terminology, zoology, office practices, laboratory techniques, dentistry, and small and large animal clinical practices.

NCC students learn practical skills in the college’s modern, spacious training environment that allows for all on-campus clinical training and animal care to be self-contained.

The program is accredited by the Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA) of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) as a program for educating veterinary technicians.
