Tampa Bay Technical High School reached a major milestone as students in the Vet Assisting program participated in the school’s first on-campus veterinary surgery. 🐾💉

With support from veterinary professionals and students from Hillsborough Community College, TBT students gained real-world experience in a clinical environment — practicing surgical prep, patient monitoring, sterilization, teamwork, and professional communication.

This hands-on training prepares students for future careers in veterinary medicine, animal care, and related health science pathways.
