support for proposed amendment to allow trained vet assistants to place IV catheters
 

There are 4000 veterinarians and only 900 certified techs in VA - we have leveraged our trained (but not certified) staff to help us take good care of our patients up until this point, why make a requirement now that we don't have the certified staff to fufill, and does nothing to enhance patient ?
