This will depend upon what the felony conviction was for. Regardless of the criminal history, a person can become a veterinarian by completing the curriculum at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. However, depending upon the conviction, the person may not be eligible for a state license to practice or to handle controlled substances like anesthetic agents. A felony conviction would make it more challenging for a person to work as a private practice veterinarian, but they could work as a public health veterinarian or for the federal government (again, depending upon the exact felony conviction).
Depends on which state (or country) you're in, and what felony you committed. I would hope that anyone convicted of a crime involving animal abuse or neglect or of any crime involving misuse or redirection of controlled substances would be unable to be licensed. For specifics, it's probably best to check with the Veterinary Medical Board which governs your area.
That depends on alot of factors including the laws in the state or country where you live and the details of the felony. The governing body that oversees veterinary technicians would have the final say. In many instances though, no you would likely not be able to get credentialed as a veterinary technician with a felony.
As no state has any legal requirements for working as a veterinary assistant and do not require credentials to work as a veterinary assistant, it is possible to fill this position after having committed a felony. However, many veterinary practices perform background checks on potential employees and may not hire felons.
no.
You can be trained to maintain veterinary records as a veterinary assistant. However, the pay is fairly minimal for this type of work, and most veterinarians either keep their records themselves or have a veterinary technician assist with the records.
Generally, the veterinarian is responsible for the actions of non-licensed employees. Therefore if a veterinary assistant performs tasks that he or she is not legally allowed to perform, the veterinarian can be reprimanded and fined. If the veterinarian did not assign these tasks to the assistant, he may choose to fire the assistant.
"Assistant veterinarian" is not a title I'm familar with. "Associate veterinarian" is a veterinarian who works at a clinic but is not an owner or part-owner of the clinic; this job has all the difficulties of any veterinary position. "Veterinary assistant" is a lay trained individual who assists the veterinarian with non-technical tasks such as cleaning the exam rooms, moving clients and patients from the reception area to the exam room and back out and other similar tasks. A veterinary assistant's job can be physical demanding but doesn't have the same demands a veterinarian's position does.
In general, no. Veterinarians have direct access to controlled drugs. If you are a convicted felon, you may not be licensed to do that.
Yes, you can work as a veterinary assistant or veterinary technician under a licensed veterinarian. In addition, after being accepted at a school of veterinary medicine, you can practice under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
A veterinary assistant is a person who assists a veterinarian in providing medical care for animals but does not meet the requirements to be a veterinary technician or veterinarian.
A veterinarian's assistant makes an average of $28,000 a year in New York. Using that figure, they make around $14.50 per hour.
the veterinarians cant do everything by their self and just like a doctor would need a nurse a veterinarian needs an assistant.
no because he or she is a felon
no a felon cannot become a dental assistant
Anyone can if he or she has a veterinarian degree
This varies wildly depending on the size of the clinic. The smallest would probably be three people: the veterinarian, a vet tech/assistant and a receptionist/office person. A large clinic may employ over a hundred people.
