UMA-Bangor Vet Tech Program

We have a new class starting in May, VTE 300 Emergency and Critical Care. It will be offered Fri mornings, 8a-12p from 5/18-8/21.
This class can be taken by people outside the vet tech program, so it's great for vet med professionals who are looking to add some ER jazz to their repertoire. Email us for more info!

Our seniors have hit the ground running in Week 2, jumping right into surgical and large animal labs. For some, this was their very first experience handling a horse.

In Surgery II, students practiced performing a sterile prep for a hanging leg procedure using our newest high-tech model, “Syd” (more on that soon!). The hanging leg technique is a specialized method that allows surgical technicians to prepare a limb for orthopedic procedures with precision and consistency.

As the instructor for both courses, Dr. Myers begins each session with a live demonstration, helping students connect their lecture knowledge directly to hands-on lab practice.

The Bangor Veterinary Hospital has an open position for a full time LVT Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, seasonal possibilities for elective Saturday mornings 7:30 am to 12:00 pm. We are looking for an applicant with a passion for primary care and client education with a desire to align themselves with a veterinary family long term. We currently employ four licensed technicians with collectively over 60 years of animal/veterinary experience. A successful applicant will share our work day integrating into technician lead appointments for routine procedures and collaborate with our two full time veterinarians for routine maintenance of chronic stable health conditions. Our technicians currently work in teams to assist in surgery and each other, as well as independently when assisting doctors with their patients. Wages commensurate with experience/skill set, mentorship and health benefits offered to successful candidates.

Interested applicants should email a resume and cover letter to [email protected]

So proud of our students!!
