Owner consent for licensed supervision of unlicensed students is consistent with a basic fair business model for the delivery of medical services and would bring veterinary practice in Virginia toward a national standard. The purpose of licensure is to improve quality of care. Practicing without licensure is misleading to the customer and inconsistent with honesty in advertising and undermines public trust.
