SYSTEM SUCCESS
Shyheem Blagman, Veterinary Technology
For junior Shyheem Blagman, the chance to train in a real-world veterinary setting brought him from Philadelphia to Pennsylvania Western University鈥檚 Veterinary Technology program.
鈥淎nimals deserve great care,鈥� Blagman said. 鈥淎t PennWest, you dive into hands-on learning from day one. Plus, it was an affordable choice to chase my dream.鈥�
At PennWest鈥檚 California campus, vet tech students learn everything from animal anatomy and behavior to radiology and practice management. They also get hands-on experience with small animals in high-tech labs and get clinical training in surgery, dentistry, anesthesia, and more.
鈥淭he facilities and experiences at PennWest set us up for success,鈥� Blagman said.
There are shortages of veterinarians and vet techs, and students like Blagman are ready to make a difference.
PennWest partners with high schools and CTCs to build interest in veterinary care and prepare students for the challenging program. This helps create a pipeline of future vets and vet techs who can provide the care pets鈥攁nd families鈥攏eed.
