Action | Elimination of restriction on practical training only in final year of veterinary school |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 1/29/2016 |
This is the comment I made the last time this proposal was up for public review:
"I understand that students need to learn, but this makes me very uneasy, especially in the early years of vet school. I take my cats to my vet for her professional expertise, and I don't like the idea of anyone who is not fully trained working on them. There are no circumstances where a student should even touch an animal without the owner knowing and giving their permission. I doubt that I would agree to very much."
I haven't seen anything since then to make me change my mind. I remain opposed.
