No state in the US has educational or training requirements for a veterinary assistant. This is an entry-level position for veterinary staff and training is generally done on the job. There are some schools that offer veterinary assisting programs and "certify" their students however many of these are not overseen by an veterinary professionals or professional organizations and are often taught by people with no education or experience in the veterinary field. For people interested in enrolling in a veterinary assisting program, a wise choice would be to select programs offered by colleges that also offer an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary technology program or a veterinary assisting program that has been designed or approved by a veterinary professional association.

How can you become a veterinary radiographer?

There are 2 routes in the UK. Firstly you can train as a human radiographer which is a 3 year degree course. This will allow you to work in a veterinary hospital as a radiographer. The second route is to train as a veterinary nurse. Many veterinary nurses take x-rays as part of their job, and you do not need a degree to qualify as a veterinary nurse (although you can do one).
