Many of our student volunteers and interns want to become professionals in the field of veterinary medicine. Many of our students already have. Becoming a veterinarian or veterinary technician is a complicated process. The central quality of students on this career path is an unflagging curiosity about animals. What kinds of animals are you most curious about? What is it about these kinds of animals that you most like?
I am looking into becoming a vet tech in wildlife rescue, rehab, and release (or placement if nececssary). Is that enough education to work in the field? My preference is to learn on the job and aquire skills over time. Is that the way to go? Seaching…. Laura
Hi Laura – The Center’s wildlife rehabilitation course does not give you a permit to become a wildlife rehabilitator (only the state grants permits) or certification as a veterinary technician. However, please email Dr. Adamski, our wildlife veterinarian, at newildlifecenter@gmail.com with your questions about education needed for your educational goals. He will be happy to respond to your inquires. Very best regards and good luck.
