I request that if the Vetinary Board gives vet students the right to practice their skills before the fourth year, that there must be informed consent for all surgeries and a requirement that the supervising veterinarian be present where a student is performing surgery.
The tasks that a vet student may be doing could require licensure - definitely need owner consent and explanation for that!!
