Dear Vet Tech Institute of Houston School Community,

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Dr. Alberto Mendoza, DVM.

Dr. Mendoza was a founding faculty member of the program and dedicated more than 17 years to teaching at the Vet Tech Institute of Houston. Quite literally, he helped develop and teach every course in the curriculum. This means that every graduate of our program had the privilege of learning from Dr. Mendoza.

Throughout the years, he played an integral role in the growth and continued improvement of our school. Most recently, he found his home teaching his two greatest passions—exotic animals and farm and food animals. He was a favorite among both students and faculty, and his absence leaves a truly an unfillable void. He will be greatly missed.

We extend our heartfelt condolences, thoughts, and prayers to his wife, Lucy, and to his entire family during this difficult time.

A card has been placed on the table outside my office door for students and alumni who would like to share messages of sympathy. We will ensure it is delivered to his family.

A huge thank you to Nicole Benoit, LVT, practice manager at veterinary dental dentistry specialist For the awesome lunch...

Our Story

At the Vet Tech Institute we are focused on helping our students achieve their goal to become a veterinary technician. Students can graduate in 18 months with plenty of hands on experience.

The first location of the Vet Tech Institute was as a program of the Median School of Allied Health Careers founded in Pittsburgh in 1958. Since then the Vet Tech Institute has grown to include a total of 4 locations nationwide.

The facility includes an on-site kennel and plenty of industry standard equipment. Through the well-rounded curriculum, students learn and practice animal nursing, how to run laboratory tests, perform radiology, assist in surgery and provide animal care. Near the end of the program students have a course to help them prepare for the national certification exam. Most of the “patient” experience is focused on dogs and cats, but students also get hands on practice and learn about rodents, exotics and large animals.
