Our program has a national reputation for training top quality technicians who assist Doctors of Veterinary Medicine. The new Veterinary Technology Teaching Hospital at Roaring Fork Campus-Spring Valley provides the latest equipment. The 5600 square foot facility was designed by veterinarians to approximate a working veterinary hospital. The Teaching Hospital includes large and small animal surgery suites, treatment areas, X-ray and laboratory areas. The dental facility provides periodontic and endodontic treatment, and virtually all other types of animal dentistry.
Students enter patient records on a computer network using industry-standard software.
The Farm The Teaching Hospital is located on a 220-acre farm, providing opportunities not found at most schools, especially for studying large animals. The farm population averages 175 animals. You'll care for horses, cattle, sheep, llamas and the usual assortment of turkeys and chickens. A collection of exotic and wild animals provides unusual veterinary care situations. Students care daily for bald and golden eagles and several hawks.
