I believe veterinary medical students should not be allowed to perform medical diagnosis or proceedures, especially surgery, on animals without faculty supervision until the fourth year of schooling. I also believe the pet owner, under the present policy of the VT medical school, must be informed if a medical student who is not in his/her fourth year is to perform a diagnosis or proceedure without faculty supervision.
