About Vet Tech Institute of Houston

Learning the right veterinary technician skills is critical for finding a job in the veterinary technician field. The first Vet Tech Institute was part of the Median School of Allied Health Careers, founded in Pittsburgh in 1958. Since then, the Vet Tech Institute has grown to include seven locations across the United States.  

Throughout 45 years of experience in providing allied health care career training, the mission has remained focused on providing quality education to benefit students, graduates, and health care professionals. 

At the Vet Tech Institute, faculty from the seven locations share teaching methods and curriculum improvements. As a result, students at the Vet Tech Institute gain from being part of a larger organization, with the benefits of being in a smaller, local, focused institution.

Vet Tech Institute is located in the Galleria area of Houston and has convenient access to public transportation, parking, and recreation. The Houston, TX location of the Vet Tech Institute has a reputation that has attracted students from around the US.  Students benefit from this diversity and also are among peers who share their love for animals.
