Veterinary Technician Practicum

LeGallais Veterinary Hospital has been an active member of the Aurora community for over 20 years, with a loyal client following. Our focus is to provide our clients with exceptional service and top-notch veterinary care, while maintaining our warm and friendly atmosphere. The hospital features four fully stocked exam rooms with a fifth used as a Comfort Care Room. In our extensive treatment area, we have access to a dedicated surgical suite, a dental procedure area, complete with dental x-ray, separate x-ray room, ultrasound, and an oxygen cage for our more critical patients.

NVA Canada’s VT Practicum Program offers final-year veterinary technician students the chance to gain real-world experience in a supportive, dynamic environment. Work alongside experienced veterinarians and RVTs to develop your clinical skills in patient care, laboratory procedures, anesthesia, surgical assistance, radiology, and more. Enhance your communication abilities with medical teams and clients, preparing you for a successful career as an RVT.

Practicums range from two to eight weeks, fitting your schedule and career goals. Eligible students—those enrolled in an accredited VT program in Canada and completing their final practicum in their final year—can receive a stipend to help with travel expenses, allowing you to focus on learning without financial worries.

Diversity and Inclusion: At NVA Canada, diversity and inclusion are an important part of our everyday reality. We are committed to fostering an open and inclusive environment where everyone belongs, and our people feel comfortable and confident to be themselves and reach their full potential regardless of age, race, national or ethnic origin, gender identity or expression, marital and family status, religion or other belief, culture, sexual orientation, or disability.
