Veterinary Technology Distance-Learning Program Accredited
Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine has taken a step to help alleviate the nation's shortage of veterinary technicians with a newly accredited Web-based program. Purdue's Veterinary Technology distance-learning program received American Veterinary Medical Association accreditation last fall. The program makes a veterinary technology education more accessible, said Robert (Pete) Bill, program director and associate professor of veterinary pharmacology. "Veterinarians in private practice can't get enough veterinary technicians in their offices," Bill said. "In addition, it is hard for veterinarians to attract students to isolated communities, such as rural areas."
