Saskatchewan Polytechnic Veterinary Technology Diploma- Distance Offering
ONE AWARD VALUED AT $1,500. CREATED BY SASKATCHEWAN POLYTECHNIC
The Saskatchewan Polytechnic Veterinary Technology program offers a rural and remote cohort. Last year the Ministries of Advanced Education and Agriculture announced initiatives to enhance the availability of veterinary services in rural Saskatchewan. These included the development of a new virtual option to train registered veterinary technologists in rural and remote parts of the province, as well as a loan forgiveness program that will be offered to new graduates who practice in rural or remote communities. Sask Polytech’s two-year registered veterinary technologist program will allow students to begin their studies remotely and complete the program at a partnering clinical practice with local veterinarians in rural areas. This cohort will take the didactic portion of the program virtually with the in-person students, and work with a partnering Vet Clinic to complete the lab-based courses. An additional faculty member has been hired to oversee this group of students and support the partnering Vet Clinic. The students will come to either Sask Polytech, the SPCA or the WCVM to complete a set number of essential skills; or labs that cannot be conducted at the partnering clinic to ensure that all standards are met. Sask Polytech hopes to offer this scholarship to support those living in a rural remote community that are considering a career in Veterinary Technology. We are targeting the Distance option to help meet the needs of more Veterinary Technicians in Rural Saskatchewan. For more information on Applying for the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Veterinary technology program please visit our program page at https://saskpolytech.ca/programs-and-courses/programs/Veterinary-Technology.aspx or explore the Applicant and Host Clinic Guide at https://saskpolytech.ca/programs-and-courses/programs/documents/VT-distance-applicant-and-clinic-guide.pdf |
