This week, the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) celebrates Staff Appreciation Week, which honors the efforts of our hardworking, talented staff. 🎉

Oct. 13-19 also marks National Veterinary Technician Week, so we invited members of the Cornell Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) Internship Program to answer a few questions about their experience. 🎊

The LVT Internship Program at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) supports each intern's professional growth and technical skill development. Our interns do core rotations in small and large animal services like emergency, critical care, anesthesia, surgery, dentistry, internal medicine, theriogenology, cardiology, community practice, imaging, pharmacy and client services, as well as many elective rotations in additional areas. Throughout the internship, participants build their skills in physical exams, restraints, injections, in-house diagnostics, surgical prep and assistance, imaging orientation and acquisition, nursing care and more. 🐾

Meet our LVT interns and learn more about life in the LVT Internship Program here: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/about-us/news/20241014/qa-meet-our-lvt-interns
