Annette Temple BS, RVT

Assistant Professor


Professional Interests/Associations

Have been a Veterinary Technician for 30 years. Have worked in mostly small and exotic animal clinics, but did some mixed practice (large and small animal) technician work. Was an office manager at a small animal clinic before becoming a veterinary technician educator. Am an active member of CACVT.

Personal Interests

I am a farmer at heart. I have a love for all domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, geese and more. I have many of these birds and love raising them for the eggs they provide to my family and others. I also have a few goats that we raise for dairy purposes. I love to garden (mostly vegetables) in the summer and must grow plants inside to get me through the long winter months when I can't get out and work in the soil.

"This is an excellent program, one of the best in the country. I do not think students can get better training elsewhere. I have worked with veterinary technicians in other parts of the country, and I do not think they could measure up to the kind of graduates the faculty at CMC produce. As a veterinarian, I would most definitely look at someone's application more closely if they came from the CMC Vet Tech program."

Dr. Joanne Tuohy graduated from the Professional Veterinary Medicine program at Colorado State University in 2010. While in veterinary school, she was heavily involved in oncology research. She completed a small animal rotating internship at North Caroline State University and is currently in a residency program in small animal surgery at that same institution.
