BETHANY HATFIELD, VET TECH ALUMNI |
"I am proud to be a graduate of the first class of the Vet Tech Program at OCTC and I cannot believe how quickly ten years have gone by since the start of the program! Dr. Eddie Leach was the program director and his experience in veterinary medicine impacted my learning experience tremendously. I was able to watch the teaching hospital transform into a state-of-the-art facility and learn techniques in the lab, dental procedures, surgery, anesthesia, and radiology, all in one building. This career has been very rewarding and there are so many different avenues I could go with my vet tech degree and experience. Right now, I oversee our laboratory and pharmacy department at Wills Animal Hospital, while I may not be working with pets directly each day, my co-workers and friends always make sure I see the sweet golden retriever patients!" |
