Program Overview

Overview

The master’s degree in veterinary clinical care equips students to fill a unique role that works alongside veterinarians and veterinary technicians, enhancing collaboration among veterinary professionals and providing a holistic team approach to care. With their unique skillset, VPAs will help relieve veterinarians from extra tasks, enhancing the efficiency of the veterinary care team as a whole. Veterinary professional associates will have knowledge and authority, under supervision of a licensed veterinarian, to diagnose and treat common illnesses and injuries, but veterinary care teams will still need the expertise of veterinary technicians to provide well-rounded care to patients.
