Action | Elimination of restriction on practical training only in final year of veterinary school |
Stage | Final |
Comment Period | Ended on 7/27/2016 |
The purpose of the comment period is to survey taxpayer support. The public support was clearly and overwhelmingly favorable for requiring specific owner consent for veterinary student practice. I personally feel abused in having to repeat supportive comments which were clearly ignored in previous comment periods. As a tax payer I am not impressed by empty compliance with perfunctory process. It is past time to be responsible. I support a new comment period. I expect Virginia's Veterinary licensure and ethical practice standards to be equal to the highest in our nation, not among the lowest.
