I am opposed to allowing students at any level to practice in any way without specific, individual owner knowledge and written consent for each procedure. Placing a "notice" in the practice office is not sufficient. I will be sure to only work with vets who do not allow students to work in their practices if this blanket notice is enacted. I appreciate the adjustments made based on public comment regarding written consent for surgical procedures, but this does not go far enough. The fact that your organization received so much public comment should suggest that your recommendations do not go far enough. Owners must be given written and verbal information, and right of refusal, in each specific instance of student care for any procedures that would normally be conducted by a licensed tech or vet. I'm sorry if you find this time consuming and a bother, but these are our family members and they deserve that level of respect if your profession is truly "caring" for our animals.
