For people who want to play a large role in an animal's healthcare, the career of veterinary technician may be a favorable choice. Please read further to learn the details of work as a veterinary technician. A veterinary technician performs duties that will aid the veterinarian in his or her work.

2 what tasks is a veterinary assistant qualified to perform?

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. Veterinary assistants are trained to take on tasks such as animal restraint, care and sanitation, basic monitoring of patient condition, perparing surgical instruments for use, surgical assisting, filling prescriptions, to know the basics of record-keeping, etc. But their training and educatiton is not as in-depth as a credentialed veterinary technician.
