I agree with Robin Knopp's statements and would like to emphasize that this an attempt to erode our authority to make decisions about the ability of personnel we have trained to perform a procedure.  I am the one who is responsible to train my staff and the one who is accountable if they are not meeting the standard of care required.  Dental scaling is not a highly skilled procedure and several people on my staff have the ability to be trained for this. It is always done under my direct supervision and then all the teeth are checked by me.  Part E of the this section states:          "The veterinarian remains responsible for the duties being delegated and remains responsible for the health and safety of the animal."  We as veterinarians are well aware of this responsibilty and our judgement needs to be trusted.
