2015-2016 Registered Veterinary Technician Program Application Instructions Thank you for your interest in the Allan Hancock College Registered Veterinary Technician program. The veterinary technician field is a demanding discipline and the course of study is both challenging and rewarding. Please review the contents of this application packet thoroughly prior to submitting your application and supporting documents. If you have questions regarding the Registered Veterinary Technician program and/or specific questions about the application process, contact the Life & Physical Sciences department at (805) 922-6966 ext. 3202. PROGRAM The Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) Program is a two-semester program, held weekday evenings. One of its goals is to provide the educational requirements which, in conjunction with the required clinical practice experience, will qualify veterinary assistants to sit for the RVT exam under the Alternate Route category. An additional goal of the RVT program is to provide, to those students without any clinical veterinary experience, the knowledge and skills to help them gain entrance into the workforce as a veterinary assistant. A grade of C or better in the veterinary technology classes is required to progress in the program. Fall semester 10 units RVT 301 Veterinary Anatomy/Physiology & Terminology - 3 units RVT 302 Veterinary Office Procedures - 2 units RVT 303 Veterinary Pharmacology - 2 units RVT 304 Clinical Pathology & Microbiology - 3 units Spring semester 10 units RVT 305 Medical Nursing and Animal Care - 4 units RVT 306 Surgical Nursing & Dentistry - 4 units RVT 307 Veterinary Radiology and Radiation Safety - 2 units RVT 308 Seminar for Registered Veterinary Technicians - 1 unit (optional) Allan Hancock College will offer a Certificate of Achievement once the student has completed the program. ALTERNATE ROUTE (This relates to the state licensing exams, not the AHC program requirements) Under the Alternate Route eligibility category for the RVT licensing examination, a candidate must complete a combination of at least 4416 hours of directed clinical practice in no less than 24 months under the direct supervision of a California-licensed veterinarian and 300 hours (or 20 semester or 30 quarter units) of specific education. RVT candidates must document their proficiency in specific areas of their clinical experience by submitting a Task List signed by a supervising veterinarian. Both the RVT specific courses and the directed clinical practice must have been completed no more than five years prior to applying for the licensing exam. General subjects such as chemistry, math, and biology may have been completed any time prior to applying. Examination application eligibility is subject to denial upon review of your background information. This includes any veterinary-related disciplinary actions, misdemeanors or felony convictions. Contact the California Veterinary Medical Board for more detailed information. 1

FINANCIAL AID For assistance with registration fees and supplies please visit www.hancockcollege.edu/financialaid.

Other areas of employment include equine hospitals, mobile clinics, laboratories, veterinary teaching hospitals, animal shelters, rescue organizations, armed services, public health, and zoos. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Applicants to the Registered Veterinary Technician program must complete the following prerequisite classes (or equivalent) with a grade of "C" or better.
