RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning an Amendment to the Veterinary Technology Program Agreement between Escambia County, Florida, and Pensacola State College Allowing Escambia County Animal Shelter Veterinary Clinic to be used for Veterinary Technician Students - John Robinson, Animal Services Manager

That the Board, subject to Legal review and sign-off, approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Amendment between Escambia County, Florida, and Pensacola State College to allow the Escambia County Animal Shelter Veterinary Clinic to be used as a clinical rotation site for veterinary technician students studying at Pensacola State College.

BACKGROUND:

Pensacola State College requires their veterinary technician students to complete clinical rotations each semester to get college credit towards their veterinary technician certification. Students rotate through four different hospital locations during their tenure as a veterinary technician student. Pensacola State College would like to add the Escambia County Animal Shelter Veterinary Clinic as one of these sites for clinical rotation. The goal of Pensacola State College is to have their students learn all aspects of veterinary medicine including the importance of preventative shelter medicine and the rehabilitation of animals that have been abused and neglected with the county. By partnering with Pensacola State College, the Escambia County Animal Shelter will receive multiple benefits including, but not limited to, assistance in their veterinary clinic, raise awareness of the need for qualified personnel in shelter environments, and the ability to recruit potential employees.
