Commenter: Concerned DVM

Yes for change
 

This policy makes the ability to have a fully functioning clinic difficult. I come from a state that allows on the job training and assistants are allowed to place IVs under the supervision of a DVM or at least having a DVM in the building. There are not enough LVTs to make the current policy feasible. There should be a realistic ratio of LVTs to DVMs before enacting a LVT only policy.
