Veterinarians are not required to accept students in their practices – they choose to do so. That choice needs to be extended to their clients, in the form of a conversation about what they propose to permit the student to do, and how the student will be supervised.
A sign in the office saying “student working in this practice” is inadequate. The performance by a student of ANY task which ordinarily requires licensure MUST require owner consent, not just notification.
