What our past CVA students are saying

The 6-week CVA program that I recently completed through VSS was a
worthwhile educational experience.  The topics covered throughout the
program were relevant, well thought out and presented in such a way that
translating the information into clinical experience was effortless.  I know
that the clinic I was placed in was grateful for my foundation to which I
could build on.

My favorite part of your program had to be the labs we had at the
Montgomery Animal Shelter.  Your going the extra mile to have these
hands-on practice runs made the learning process more enjoyable and fun!  
Thank you for your expertise and patience!

did several internships including two at
A&M as well as at an Emergency Clinic in
Annapolis, MD and a small animal practice
in Eugene, OR.  She left that job after
five years to move to New Waverly and
start a life with her husband.   She
worked for the Veterinary Hospital of New
Waverly as the Staff Supervisor before
following her heart back into teaching and
training.  

Shannon is married and has three dogs
(“Moses” – Bernese Mtn. Dog, “Dakota” –
