Huge THANK YOUS!!!!! 💚💙

Our Admissions Director, Jennifer Schifano, was happy to be a part of this article with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about the need for more Groomers in the St. Louis area! 💚💙

While we help with job placement for our Grads, there is just more demand than we can meet, so we created our Employer Sponsor program.

If you want to join the future of grooming or you are a business owner wanting more staff trained, contact our Admissions Department to learn more! 🐾✂️

Dissection Day! Our Veterinary Assisting Students got hands on while learning about the anatomy of a heart.

Sheep hearts were carefully dissected to better understand the external and internal parts. They learned about blood flow, felt the textures and thicknesses and elasticity, and got a 3D perspective of the atria, ventricles, and valves.
