Jamie Ottinger was a registered veterinary technician for about five years before she pursued change.

“I was at a point where I wanted to know what was next,” said Ottinger.

Ottinger isn’t alone. According to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, many vet techs leave practice after about five years.

“There’s not really a way to move up. And therefore, there’s a very high turnover rate in the profession of veterinary technology. Right now, the average is five years,” said Cindy E. Cravens, DVM, Community Practice-Veterinary Health Center at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine.

Ottinger discovered an opportunity at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine that would soon advance her career. The College of Veterinary Medicine launched the Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology (BSVT) program. The BSVT program is an online bachelor’s completion degree for veterinary technicians anywhere who have an associate degree.
