It is the only program of its kind in Northwest Florida, but she said there are also students who chose Pensacola State despite having programs closer to them. Meyer-Paterson said that Pensacola State’s Veterinary Technology program draws students not only locally, but from around the region. “We’ve never been below national average – we’ve always exceeded that.” “There are 11 standards of accreditation through AVMA and we must maintain a VTNE pass rate above 54% in order to maintain our accreditation before they will even start to look at the other standards,” explained Program Director Sarah Meyer-Paterson, CVT. The Veterinary Technology program at Pensacola State is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association’s (AVMA) Committee on Veterinary Technical Education and Activities. The mean three-year national pass rate as of April 2018 for the VTNE has been 70.31 percent for first-time takers, according to the American Association of Veterinary State Boards, which proctors the examination. The VTNE evaluates the competency of entry-level veterinary technicians and requires a passing score for a veterinary technician to be credentialed. ![]() More than 77 percent of Pensacola State College Veterinary Technology students who graduated during the period from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2018, earned a passing score on the Veterinary Technical National Exam (VTNE). ![]()
