Uneasy about Student Practice
 

I understand that students need to learn, but this makes me very uneasy, especially in the early years of vet school.  I take my cats to my vet for her professional expertise, and I don't like the idea of anyone who is not fully trained working on them. There are no circumstances where a student should even touch an animal without the owner knowing and giving their permission.  I doubt that I would agree to very much.
