Clearly, the concerns of many people in Virginia are not being heard on this issue and I strongly request another comment period. It is interesting to note that lawyers who are not yet licensed to practice law are required, if they want to represent clients while in their third year of law school (Known in the legal profession as the "Third Year Student Practice Rule") to obtain the written consent of their would be client before doing so. Veterinary students should not have to do less when they want to be involved in the treatment of an animal but are not yet licensed. Please consider addressing the very legitmate concerns of Virginians on this issue. Thank you.
