DILLON, Mont. (June 21, 2016) – Pima Medical Institute’s Dillon, Mont., campus will host an open house on June 29 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. to introduce its veterinary assistant and veterinary technician programs.

The public is encouraged to stop by for tours and potential students are welcome to meet with admissions and financial aid representatives to find out about enrolling. Current students will also be on hand to talk to anyone interested in the programs.

Pima Medical offers the veterinary assistant certificate and veterinary technician associate degree programs in Dillon. The programs’ classrooms and labs are located on the University of Montana Western’s campus.

Curriculum focuses on hands-on work caring for domestic animals, livestock and even exotic animals. Over the programs’ 18-month period, students learn animal behavior, care, surgical assisting, laboratory testing and nursing procedures. Veterinary technicians that graduate are qualified to work closely with veterinarians in the areas of surgery, lab procedures and radiography.

They will officially earn their veterinary assistant certificates on June 24, with a ceremony to begin at 1 p.m. at Beier Auditorium on the university’s campus. Nine of the 11 graduates have already begun the veterinary technician program, and will graduate in May of 2017.
