Re: Oppose the proposed action
 

Hello, I opposed the proposed regulatory action which would allow Vet students to practice before their fourth year of residency
By removing this restriction I believe that animals will be harmed and misdiagnoised
As an addenum the proposal still does not address in the circumstances and scenarios in which direct supervision of students in the act of treating animals is applied
The application of such a method is not good in keeping up with standars of any vet school or any regulatory board of medicine
In order to be brought up to standard such things as owners content must be required
