Pre or Post Grad Programs

What are TEACHING PROGRAMS? AZVT uses it as an umbrella phrase covering the following terms: externship, internship, or preceptorship.

In general, participants of these individual programs will be performing similar duties as their supervising zoo vet tech. Most facilities require certain medical and personnel clearances be met. A some examples include: a negative TB test, current tetanus vaccination, completed rabies vaccination series and/or titer, and a background check. Review each individual facility's posting for specific requirements.
