I support veterinary students having the ability to obtain practical experience at vet schools and in veterinary hospitals. However, I support the pet owner's right to be notified and given the choice to deny or give consent prior to student practice on their pet. In addition, veterinary students should be limited to observation  during the first two years of vet school and practice under supervision throughout their education. Student preceptorship must only be allowed at licensed hospitals/clinics that have a recognized standard of excellence by the Vetinary Board. Lee Henkels recommendations should be instituted.
