New Program Proposal Veterinary Medical Technology, Bachelor's Degree

Role and Mission The mission of College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University (MSUCVM) is to educate future veterinarians, educate veterinarians and scientists, and improve the quality of life for producers, pet owners, and the public in general. The College accomplishes this mission by providing quality educational experiences, delivering outstanding professional services and impacting society through research. The College is committed to continual advancement of the veterinary profession and abides by the principles of the veterinarian's oath.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Medical Technology furthers the mission of the MSU-CVM by adding the education of essential members of the professional support team of veterinary medicine. Veterinary technologists graduating from this program will enhance the quality and quantity of the service that veterinarians provide to the producers, pet owners, and the public in general. It is also anticipated that the graduates will assist researchers not only in veterinary medical research, but also in biomedical research. Other opportunities will exist in teaching, regulatory veterinary medicine, public health, zoo medicine and humane society work as well as the pharmaceutical industry.

The Veterinary Medical Technology Program will help meet the overall priorities/goals ofMSU-CVM's strategic plan relative to veterinary medical education. The proposed program will provide an educational opportunity to individuals who will be key contributors to the delivery of veterinary medical services to the private sector, institutional and private research endeavors and public health. Therefore, the proposed Veterinary Medical Technology Program will enhance the College's strategic plan. The addition of this program will assure that MSU-CVM's contribution to the veterinary profession and everyone the profession serves will be enhanced to a higher level.

Anticipated institutional impact would include: • A Bachelor's Degree program for the MSU-CVM, • A program that does not duplicate any program of MSU or any other four-year

institution in Mississippi, • A program that will provide educational opportunities in a career field where an

undersupply of graduates is present, and • A program whose top graduates will be sought by the MSU-CVM to facilitate

educational, clinical and research activities of the College.

Administration The Veterinary Medical Technology Program will be administered through the MSUCVM Department of Clinical Sciences.

The program will be directed by Dr. P. Mikell Davis, Director of Special Education. Dr. Davis has been associated with the College for 27 years. Dr. Davis has been a member of the MSU-CVM Admissions Committee for 22 years and has chaired that committee for

I of8



20 years. He will be responsible for program oversight: student recruitment and admission, student academic advisement, curriculum development and ongoing program delivery and review.

Educational Objectives Educational objectives of the Veterinary Medical Technology Program are:

• To offer a curriculum that will allow students the opportunity to acquire the scientific and practical knowledge that will allow them to become integral components of the veterinary profession,

• To graduate students with a bachelor's degree who are highly sought after to fill positions in private practice, research institutions, public health entities, institutional veterinary medicine, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies and other positions associated with the care and welfare of animals, and

• To offer continuing education to our graduates and others in the associated career fields that will assist them in remaining current on advancements in veterinary medicine.

The Veterinary Medical Technology Program will not have multiple curricula.

Admission Requirements Undergraduate students who enroll in Mississippi State University may choose to pursue a bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medical Technology. Enrollment in the program will be with the understanding that a limited number of students (24 initially) will be competitively admitted to the junior year of the program.

Up to ten students may be pre-admitted to the junior year of the program prior to entering MSU. Applicants for pre-admission may be high school seniors or high school graduates who have no more than 12 hours of college courses on their record. Academic qualifications for application include an ACT score of 21 and a high school average of 80. Successful applicants for pre-admission must complete the core courses at MSU after which the student is guaranteed a position in the junior year, provided a GPA of 2.75 with no grade less than "C" has been maintained.

The remaining positions for the junior class of the Veterinary Medical Technology Program will be filled through a competitive application process. Applicants must have completed or be in progress of specified prerequisite courses which include Mississippi State University'S core curriculum. Applicants must have an overall GPA of2.5 and have no grade less than "C" in any prerequisite course. Application deadline will be January 15. Notification of successful applicants will be April 1. Classes for the junior year will begin the fall semester 2010. Twenty-four positions will be available fall semester 2010.

The number of students accepted into the junior year will be limited because of the available space for clinical rotations in the teaching hospital. An increased number of

20f8



junior students accepted into the program will depend on space in the Animal Health Center.

Unsuccessful applicants to the junior year will be counseled by the director of the program. Goals for the counseling sessions will be:

• To develop plans for becoming a more competitive applicant for the following year,

• To explore career options if the student is not successful in gaining admission to the program, and

• To develop an academic plan for accomplishing formulated plans.

Applicants may be potential transfer students from other two- and four-year institutions. It is possible that articulation agreements could be established with some of the Mississippi community colleges.

Professional Accreditation The MSU-CVM is accredited by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the worldwide accrediting body for veterinary schools and colleges.

Currently, the MSU-CVM has only one degree program, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Full accreditation and positive outcomes assessment of graduates help to verify that the teaching, research and service record of the College is excellent. In addition, graduate programs, administered by the Graduate School and taught in the College, add significantly to the productivity record of the MSU-CVM.

Accreditation for the Veterinary Medical Technology Program will be sought through the Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the accrediting body for veterinary technology programs in the United States.

It is not anticipated that a SACS visit for substantive change will be necessary.

Credit Hours and Curriculum The Veterinary Medical Technology Program will require 124 credit hours for graduation.

The program's curriculum will be similar to the programs at Purdue University and Michigan State University. The most significant difference in MSU-CVM's proposed program and those of Purdue and Michigan State is the higher number of university core requirements.

The curriculum will meet, and in some cases exceed, the requirements for the graduates of the program to sit the certification exam.

Course descriptions are found in appendix 1.

The second summer session prior to the senior year and the senior year of the Veterinary Medical Technology Program are clinical rotations. One of those is the Large Animal Ambulatory Rotation which occurs on the premises offood animal and equine producers.

There are no cross-listed courses for master's programs.

All course documentation will be presented to the University Committee on Courses and Curricula prior to the end of the spring semester 2008.

Supporting Fields The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree will have a very close and supportive relationship with the Veterinary Medical Technology Program. Students of both curricula will rotate through the clinical rotations simultaneously. The professional relationship between veterinary medical and veterinary technology students will carry over beyond graduation as the technology graduates assist and support the work of veterinarians.

Faculty With the exception of one course, the freshman and sophomore years of the curriculum (university core curriculum plus additional science courses) will be taught by undergraduate departments of the University. Veterinary Medical Vocabulary will be taught by an MSU-CVM faculty member.

The junior year of the cuniculum will be delivered in a didactic format and the senior year will be clinical rotations in the veterinary teaching hospital. The following faculty will have responsibilities in the delivery of the curriculum:

• P. Mikell Davis, D.v.M. • Andrew Mackin, B.Sc., B.Y.M.S., M.V.S., D.V.Sc., Dip. A.C.V.I.M. • Lanny Pace, D.V.M., Ph.D., AC.V.P. • Lucy Senter, M.S., D.V.M., M.S., AC.L.AM. • Robert L. Linford, D.V.M., Ph.D., AC.V.S. • Robert E. Meyer, D.V.M., AC.V.A • Ron McLaughlin, D.V.M., D.V.Sc., AC.V.S. • Sharon Fooshee Grace, M.S., M.Ag., D.V.M., A.B.V.P., A.C.V.I.M. • Stephen B. Pruett, B.D., Ph.D. • Vernon Cory Langston, D.V.M., Ph.D., AC.V.C.P.

See appendix 2.

It is anticipated that two additional faculty, one administrative assistant, one laboratory support person and one office support person will be added to facilitate the delivery of the curriculum.

50f8



State Needs The Veterinary Medical Technology Program will meet local, state, regional, and national educational and cultural needs. A significant veterinary medical technologist shortage exists in pri vate veterinary practice, biomedical research facilities, institutional practice, medical schools, the pharmaceutical industry, and the military and veterinary related industries. Graduates will have the opportunity to enter diverse fields of employment.

The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 41% increase, from 71,000 to 100,000, in the number of veterinary medical technology positions from the year 2006 to 2016. In 2007 there were 271 graduates from four-year col1eges and 2,910 graduates from two-year colleges. The greatest potential for enhanced employment is for the four-year graduates. See appendix 3.

Although no scientific study has been done to document the need for additional veterinary medical technologists in Mississippi, the proposed program has received very strong verbal support from the leadership and members of the Mississippi Veterinary Medical Association.

The addition of the Veterinary Medical Technology Program will allow the MSU-CVM to more ful1y utilize the facilities of the Col1ege. The faculty understand the need for more veterinary medical technologists in the profession and wil1 have a vested interest in the program, students and graduates. The Col1ege has the support of the Mississippi Veterinary Medical Association's Liaison Committee to the Col1ege.

This program wil1 not duplicate any program in any of the four-year private or public institutions in Mississippi. An Associate's Degree program is offered by Hinds Community Col1ege in cooperation with MSU-CVM. The first year of the program is conducted on campus at Hinds Community Col1ege and the second year (clinical training) is conducted in the veterinary teaching hospital of MSU-CVM. With the implementation of the proposed program by MSU-CVM, Hinds Community Col1ege will assume the responsibility of the second year of the Associate's Degree program.

The MSU-CVM will seek applications to the junior year of the Veterinary Medical Technology Program from all community/junior colleges and senior col1eges/universities in Mississippi and beyond. This is feasible due to the fact that the prerequisite courses for application to the junior year may be completed at any of these educational institutions. This will create the opportunity for increased diversity within the student body.

Employment opportunities as well as potential income of the graduates of the Veterinary Medical Technology Program will be greatly enhanced over the graduates of the associate degree programs. Graduates who are employed in private veterinary practices

60f8



will enhance the productivity of the practices and have a positive impact on the financial success of the practices. Graduates will have a similar positive impact on the research institutions and industries that employ them.

Program Potential Admission to the junior and senior years of the Veterinary Medical Technology Program will be competitive and a limited number of students will be admitted. An assumption is made that there will be undergraduate students who desire to enroll in the program, who will have completed the first two years of the curriculum and who will apply for admission to the junior year of the curriculum fall 2010. It is also assumed that some of these students will be students who were unsuccessful in their applications to the College of Veterinary Medicine's DVM program and who still desire a career in the veterinary profession. This program will provide opportunities to students which are not available at the present time.

The following is an estimate of the cumulative head count for the first six years of the program.

Year Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors 2009 30 30 o o 2010 35 30 24 o 2011 45 30 24 24 2012 50 40 24 24 2013 55 50 36 24 2014 60 55 36 36

It is anticipated that up to 60% of the graduates might stay in Mississippi. Recruiters for biomedical research positions outside Mississippi will have a significant influence on MSU-CVM's graduates. Approximately 25% might stay in the Southeast and 15% might be placed in other locations in the United States due to this and other influences.

It is anticipated that starting salaries will range from $15 to $24 per hour. As in most other career fields, a willingness to be mobile is a significant factor in starting salaries. A similar range of salaries will exist in Mississippi, the Southeast and the United States with the higher salaries being available in the larger biomedical research institutions.

Resources Current library holdings at the CVM branch of the Mitchell Memorial Library are a strength. The CVM library subscribes to over 125 current print journals and maintains approximately 13,000 bound periodicals. There are no perceived weaknesses of the library at this time. The MSU-CVM is fully accredited through the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education and the status of the Iibrary is an integral part of the accreditation standards. The college adds new volumes to the library yearly. The administrator of the program, along with the CVM librarian, will be responsible for monitoring new additions to the library.

70f8



As of July 2006, the libraries at MSU (including CVM) had access to 117 databases. In January 2007, via a newly formed consortium through the University's Mitchell Memorial Library, the university community, including CVM, gained access to an additional 1500 e-joumals.

Projected expenses and income for the first six years are attached as appendix 4.

Existing facilities, with some rearrangement for classroom space, are adequate for the proposed 24 students in each of the junior and senior years. In order to increase the class size to 36 students, additional space will be needed.

Grants will be pursued to facilitate continued enhancement of the program.

Internal Assessment Evaluation of the program and its effectiveness will be carried out through the following methods:

• Course and instructor evaluations by students, • Evaluations of students' performance by faculty and professional staff during

classroom, laboratory, and clinical rotation experiences, • Certification exam success, • Exit surveys, • Employment statistics, • Starting salaries and • Employers' evaluations of graduates.

Admission and retention rates will be monitored by the program director.

Placement of graduates will be monitored and facilitated by the office of the program director.

Program outcome assessments will be the responsibility of the program director. A heavy emphasis will be placed on employers of the graduates of the program. A vital aspect of the information gleaned from outcomes assessments will be the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the graduates.

Changes in job market need/demand will be monitored by the program director. A significant part of this will be the establishment of a positions database that will be available to the senior students as they search for desirable positions.

Graduate surveys will be the responsibility of the program director. Surveys will be conducted one, three and five years after graduation.

Occupational Outlook Handbook http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos183.htm

Veterinary Technologists and Technicians (O*NET 29-2056.00) Significant Points Animal lovers get satisfaction from this occupation, but aspects of the work can be unpleasant, physically and emotionally demanding, and sometimes dangerous. Entrants generally complete a 2-year or 4-year veterinary technology program and must pass a State examination. Employment is expected to grow much faster than average. Overall job opportunities should be excellent; however, keen competition is expected for jobs in zoos and aquanums. Nature of the Work Owners of pets and other animals today expect state-of-the-art veterinary care. To provide this service, veterinarians use the skills of veterinary technologists and technicians, who perform many of the same duties for a veterinarian that a nurse would for a physician, including routine laboratory and clinical procedures. Although specific job duties vary by employer, there often is little difference between the tasks carried out by technicians and by technologists, despite some differences in formal education and training. As a result, most workers in this occupation are called technicians. Veterinary technologists and technicians typically conduct clinical work in a private practice under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. They often perform various medical tests and treat and diagnose medical conditions and diseases in animals. For example, they may perform laboratory tests such as urinalysis and blood counts, assist with dental prophylaxis, prepare tissue samples. take blood samples, or assist veterinarians in a variety of tests and analyses in which they often use various items of medical equipment, such as test tubes and diagnostic equipment. While most of these duties are performed in a laboratory setting, many are not. For example, some veterinary technicians obtain and record patients' case histories, expose and develop x-rays and radiographs, and provide specialized nursing care. In addition, experienced veterinary technicians may discuss a pet's condition with its owners and train new clinic personnel. Veterinary technologists and technicians assisting small-animal practitioners usually care for companion animals, such as cats and dogs, but can perform a variety of duties with mice, rats, sheep, pigs, cattle, monkeys, birds, fish, and frogs. Very few veterinary technologists work in mixed animal practices where they care for both small companion animals and larger, nondomestic animals. Besides working in private clinics and animal hospitals, veterinary technologists and technicians may work in research facilities, where they administer medications orally or topically, prepare samples for laboratory examinations, and record information on an animal's genealogy, diet, weight, medications, food intake, and clinical signs of pain and distress. Some may sterilize

Occupational Outlook Handbook http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocosI83.htm

laboratory and surgical equipment and provide routine postoperative care. At research facilities, veterinary technologists typically work under the guidance of veterinarians or physicians. Some veterinary technologists vaccinate newly admitted animals and occasionally may have to euthanize seriously ill, severely injured, or unwanted animals. While the goal of most veterinary technologists and technicians is to promote animal health, some contribute to human health as well. Veterinary technologists occasionally assist veterinarians in implementing research projects as they work with other scientists in medical-related fields such as gene therapy and cloning. Some find opportunities in biomedical research, wildlife medicine, the military, livestock management, or pharmaceutical sales. Work environment. People who love animals get satisfaction from working with and helping them. However, some of the work may be unpleasant, physically and emotionally demanding, and sometimes dangerous. At times, veterinary technicians must clean cages and lift, hold, or restrain animals, risking exposure to bites or scratches. These workers must take precautions when treating animals with germicides or insecticides. The work setting can be noisy. Veterinary technologists and technicians who witness abused animals or who euthanize unwanted, aged, or hopelessly injured animals may experience emotional stress. Those working for humane societies and animal shelters often deal with the public, some of whom might react with hostility to any implication that the owners are neglecting or abusing their pets. Such workers must maintain a calm and professional demeanor while they enforce the laws regarding animal care. In some animal hospitals, research facilities, and animal shelters, a veterinary technician is on duty 24 hours a day, which means that some may work night shifts. Most full-time veterinary technologists and technicians work about 40 hours a week, although some work 50 or more hours a week. Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement There are primarily two levels of education and training for entry to this occupation: a 2-year program for veterinary technicians and a 4-year program for veterinary technologists. Education and training. Most entry-level veterinary technicians have a 2-year associate degree from an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)-accredited community college program in veterinary technology in which courses are taught in clinical and laboratory settings using live animals. About 16 Many veterinary technologists and technicians assist veterinarians in routine laboratory and clinical procedures. Veterinary Technologists and Technicians colleges offer veterinary technology programs that are longer and that culminate in a 4-year bachelor's degree in veterinary technology. These 4-year colleges, in addition to some vocational schools. also offer 2-year programs in laboratory animal science. Several schools offer distance learning. In 2006, 131 veterinary technology programs in 44 States

Appendix J, Page 2 of 5



were accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Graduation from an AVMA-accredited veterinary technology program allows students to take the credentialing exam in any State in the country. Persons interested in careers as veterinary technologists and technicians should take as many high school science, biology, and math courses as possible. Science courses taken beyond high school, in an associate or bachelor's degree program, should emphasize practical skills in a clinical or laboratory setting. Technologists and technicians usually begin work as trainees in routine positions under the direct supervision of a veterinarian. Entry-level workers whose training or educational background encompasses extensive hands-on experience with a variety of laboratory equipment, including diagnostic and medical equipment, usually require a shorter period of on-the-job training. Licensure and certification. Each State regulates veterinary technicians and technologists differently; however, all States require them to pass a credentialing exam following coursework. Passing the State exam assures the public that the technician or technologist has sufficient knowledge to work in a veterinary clinic or hospital. Candidates are tested for competency through an examination that includes oral, written, and practical portions and that is regulated by the State Board of Veterinary Examiners or the appropriate State agency. Depending on the State, candidates may become registered, licensed, or certified. Most States, however, use the National Veterinary Technician (NVT) exam. Prospects usually can have their passing scores transferred from one State to another, so long as both States use the same exam. Employers recommend American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) certification for those seeking employment in a research facility. AALAS offers certification for three levels of technician competence, with a focus on three principal areas-s-anirnal husbandry, facility management, and animal health and welfare. Those who wish to become certified must satisfy a combination of education and experience requirements prior to taking the AALAS examination. Work experience must be directly related to the maintenance, health, and well-being of laboratory animals and must be gained in a laboratory animal facility as defined by AALAS. Candidates who meet the necessary criteria can begin pursuing the desired certification on the basis of their qualifications. The lowest level of certification is Assistant Laboratory Animal Technician (ALAT), the second level is Laboratory Animal Technician (LAT), and the highest level of certification is Laboratory Animal Technologist (LATG). The AALAS examination consists of multiple-choice questions and is longer and more difficult for higher levels of certification, ranging from 2 hours and 120 multiple choice questions for the ALAT to 3 hours and 180 multiple choice questions for the LATG. Other qualifications. As veterinary technologists and technicians often deal with pet owners, communication skills are very important. In addition, technologists and technicians should be able to work well with others, because teamwork with veterinarians is common. Organizational ability and the ability to pay




attention to detail also are important. Advancement. As they gain experience, technologists and technicians take on more responsibility and carry out more assignments under only general veterinary supervision. Some eventually may become supervisors. Employment Veterinary technologists and technicians held about 71,000 jobs in 2006. About 91 percent worked in veterinary services. The remainder worked in boarding kennels, animal shelters, stables, grooming salons, zoos, State and private educational institutions, and local, State, and Federal agencies. Job Outlook Excellent job opportunities will stem from the need to replace veterinary technologists and technicians who leave the occupation and from the limited output of qualified veterinary technicians from 2-year programs, which are not expected to meet the demand over the 2006-16 period. Employment is expected to grow much faster than average. Employment change. Employment of veterinary technologists and technicians is expected to grow 41 percent over the 2006-16 projection period, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. Pet owners are becoming more affluent and more willing to pay for advanced veterinary care because many of them consider their pet to be part of the family. This growing affluence and view of pets will continue to increase the demand for veterinary care. The vast majority of veterinary technicians work at private clinical practice under veterinarians. As the number of veterinarians grows to meet the demand for veterinary care, so will the number of veterinary technicians needed to assist them. The number of pet owners who take advantage of veterinary services for their pets-currently about 6 in lQ--is expected to grow over the projection period, increasing employment opportunities. The availability of advanced veterinary services, such as preventive dental care and surgical procedures, also will provide opportunities for workers specializing in those areas as they will be needed to assist licensed veterinarians. The rapidly growing number of cats kept as companion pets is expected to boost the demand for feline medicine and services. Further demand for these workers will stem from the desire to replace veterinary assistants with more highly skilled technicians and technologists

manufacturing companies, and food safety inspection facilities will provide additional jobs for veterinary technologists and technicians. However, keen competition is expected for veterinary technologist and technician jobs in zoos and aquariums, due to expected slow growth in facility capacity, low turnover among workers, the limited number of positions, and the fact that the work in zoos and aquariums attracts many candidates. Job prospects. Excellent job opportunities are expected because of the relatively few veterinary technology graduates each year. The number of 2-year programs has recently grown to 131, but due to small class sizes, fewer than 3,000 graduates are anticipated each year, which is not expected to meet demand. Additionally, many veterinary technicians remain in the field for only 7-8 years, so the need to replace workers who leave the occupation each year also will produce many job opportunities. Employment of veterinary technicians and technologists is relatively stable during periods of economic recession. Layoffs are less likely to occur among veterinary technologists and technicians than in some other occupations because animals will continue to require medical care. Earnings Median hourly earnings of veterinary technologists and technicians were $12.88 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $10.44 and $15.77. The bottom 10 percent earned less than $8.79, and the top 10 percent earned more than $18.68. Related Occupations Others who work extensively with animals include animal care and service workers, and veterinary assistants and laboratory animal caretakers. Like veterinary technologists and technicians, they must have patience and feel comfortable with animals. However, the level of training required for these occupations is less than that needed by veterinary technologists and technicians. Veterinarians, who need much more formal education, also work extensively with animals, preventing, diagnosing, and treating their diseases, disorders, and injuries.
