The sudden resignation of the department head at Tri-County Technical College's veterinary technology program has left students reeling, with many voicing serious concerns about the program's future viability.

A six-page document, drafted by students, details a series of issues including missed instruction, a lack of communication, and failures to meet accreditation standards.

The document outlines specific instances of inadequate training and a perceived disconnect between the program's curriculum and the requirements for accreditation, which is crucial for the program's credibility and for ensuring that graduates meet industry standards.

The students' document directly addresses concerns about the program's ability to meet these critical accreditation benchmarks, asserting that essential instruction has been omitted, hindering their ability to adequately prepare for professional licensure and employment.

The Tri-County Technical College veterinary technology program is designed to prepare students for careers as veterinary technicians, assisting veterinarians in providing medical care to animals, and failure to maintain accreditation can impact students' ability to obtain employment and further their careers.
