Wilson College and Franklin County Career & Technology Center Veterinary Assisting Program have signed an articulation agreement. FCCTC Veterinary Assisting Program students who complete the program with certain criteria can roll hours of credit into the Veterinary Nursing program at Wilson College. This agreement will be a benefit to the students, employers, and the community in the region. Veterinary nurses play an important role in quality care of our animals. Their duties help veterinarians work efficiently and optimally. The care they provide animals and the communication with their owners increase the success of the animal practices they work for.

Located in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, Franklin County Career & Technology Center provides education for both high school students and adults in Franklin County. The Veterinary Assisting Program is a three-semester preparatory program connecting classroom theory and laboratory experiences in areas including overall care in husbandry of companion animals, assisting with preparation and recovery for surgical procedures, proper nutrition, preventative medicine, basic grooming techniques, laboratory procedures, upkeep of medical records, and interpersonal relationships.
