corporate practices to as-needed relief work for individual
practitioners.

Dr. Posern moved to the Austin area in 2007, and is
looking forward to getting to know clients in Kyle as a
regular part of our practice. Dr. Posern's wealth of
experience will be a wonderful asset to Kyle Animal

Cedar Valley College Off-Campus Clinical
Instruction Site Approval

We are excited to have recently been granted approval as
an OCCI site for Cedar Valley College/Registered
Technician training program. This gives our staff
education a huge boost, and adds a dimension that was
previously unavailable in our area.

Registered Veterinary Technician Training

We provide tuition assistance for those pursuing a
Registered Veterinary Technician degree. This program is
run through the American Animal Hospital Association, in
co-operation with Cedar Valley College Distance Education
program.

This is a big step beyond a CVA, as the RVT program
entails 2-4 years of college and an associate's degree.
This is open to all full time employees, so that they may
receive the education needed to better themselves and
better serve your pets. RVT certification is a huge
commitment in terms of time and money for the students.
Kyle Animal Hospital is committed to facilitating the
highest level of possible education for those that care for
your pets, so we offer tuition assistance as well as
educational training for this program!
