Veterinary Technology Program
VSRP is proud to participate in the externship program for Central Carolina Community College Veterinary Technology Program. We offer a several month program of mentorship and hands on experience in our surgical specialty hospital. Our VSRP doctors and technicians enjoy this opportunity to provide a supportive environment for the CCCC veterinary technology students to learn and apply the VSRP gold standard of patient care.
