Sprott Shaw College recently launched an updated Veterinary Assistant Program that follows a more comprehensive, hands-on, and modern curriculum. This program now includes Fear Free certification, which trains students to handle animals in ways that minimize fear, anxiety, and stress. Additional enhancements to the program include a deeper focus on shelter medicine principles and animal welfare best practices and improved access to NEO software to enhance students’ engagement through simulations and virtual labs. Students will also be offered access to advanced webinars in veterinary medicine. These updates are designed to prepare graduates for diverse careers in private clinics, animal shelters, and research facilities.
