Against. Licensed Veterinary Technicians have the proper training and licensure. This skill is important and should only be done by properly licensed individuals. On the human side of medicine properly licensed people place catheters and draw blood. This would be an insult to let unlicensed people place catheters and become the licensed individuals in the practice to manage and train assistants to do this skill. This is not in favor for our patients who deserve the best care that we can offer.
