"Vet Techs are like RNs: they do everything that a veterinarian does except make diagnoses, prescribe treatment and do surgery. The need for specialized training is one reason students study in PCC's state-of-the-art facility. Our program is very cutting-edge. Veterinarians, some from out-of-state, call us to recruit our students. Most students are already employed by graduation."
Daniel A. DeNoon DVM, MPH

"I read about the Pima's Vet Tech program online and came all the way from Utah to enroll. I wanted an accredited program so I can be certified. Employers really look at that. I'm very happy with the program: it has awesome teachers, a great education, and its affordable. There is a lot of hands-on learning with the animals, which is important to me." Jenaway Adams, PCC Student Intern,

"The quality of PCC's Vet Tech program is absolutely outstanding! I've hired four Vet Tech graduates from PCC. They are well-rounded and technically adept, and they can step into the position immediately. PCC has the only Vet Tech program in Tucson that leads to an AAS degree and certification. It has a great facility." Kipp Metzger, DVM

"In Pima's Vet Tech program, we learned subjects in-depth, so we'd understand not only what was wrong but also why we use the treatments we do. I learned about muscles and nerves and to understand animal behavior and body language, so now it's easier to pick up on an animal's needs. The faculty is excellent and supportive. They teach because they love their profession and want to make it better." Chrisi Shelton, PCC graduate, 2004
