The Veterinary Technology Program at Blue Ridge Community College allows students to choose their preceptorship practice but their selection must be approved by the Program.  This process provides the strongest learning experience for students as they are able to pursue their interests in an environment that best suits their needs.  The program director personally visits preceptorship practices each year.

Using this method, there are very few supervising veterinarians being utilized currently who have had a past disciplinary issue (roughly 8%, representing the 2014 and anticipated 2015 preceptorship sites).  The most recent date of any disciplinary action concerning a current BRCC preceptor was 12 years ago.   The program feels there is a strong supervision and training program for veterinary technology preceptorships and will continue to be diligent in efforts moving forward.
