Delegation of Duties
 

C. The following tasks that may be delegated by a licensed veterinarian to a properly trained assistant include but are not limited to the following.

The phrase ‘include but are not limited to the following’ should not be removed from the regulations as assistants are trained to do several other tasks and have both the talent and ability to do more than what is listed above. With removal of the phrase, it makes it seem like assistants will may only be able to do 1-10 on the list and nothing more.
