The veterinarian technician program received a grant for a new oxygen system. David Prigel, the veterinary technician instructor, applied for the grant and they received it in Aug. and purchased the new system. The system has made learning and education easier for the students.
I had the chance to visit with second year students as well as Dr. Prigel, and see how the oxygen machine operates. The new machine has made it possible for the students to gain training on more than one type of oxygen machine as well as making them diverse. Students Mystery McMahan, Hannah Blake and others said the new machine makes it easier and they do not have to carry oxygen bottles and refill them as often.
“These new systems help the students to see how other oxygen systems operate,” according to Dr. Prigel, Vet Tech Instructor.
Dr. Prigel stated that the new machines make students diverse and well-rounded in different oxygen systems when it comes time to be tested or to find a job. The new oxygen machine not only helps to make the veterinary technician students diverse; it also helps to keep our program up to date and helps the vet tech program to expand and keep it competitive with students and other schools.
Gaining technology like this addition the training for Crowders veterinary technician students helps set them apart from other students that could be applying for the same job as them in the future.
The vet tech program continues to grow and expand while still teaching with tradition. Dr. Prigel as stated that him as well as the students enjoy the new oxygen system and gain value and knowledge from it.
