Hands-on experience is essential to our mastery of medicine. Under the current regulations, vet students get one year of hands-on experience under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian before we are released to practice medicine on our own. It seems evident that increasing that to four years of supervised hands-on experience will benefit not only vet students, but our patients as well.
