Wow, that is kind of messed up on thd surgery front to allow lower level of training, althoughni can see a space for specific surgery training and licensing not blanket licensing.
and it's completely...
That is honestly my main concern about it.
When this was first being talked about, they were saying any vet tech would be allowed to prescribe drugs. In CO, you do not need any credentialing to be a vet tech. You only need credentialing to call yourself a licensed vet tech. So Joe Blow could come in and order a ton of ket without anyone but him and the pharm knowing
I still don't know how they are going to keep that from happening. Vet techs selling recreational drugs have been such an issue in the past already that some states won't even allow vet techs to also be managers of a vet practice where they could abuse their dual roles, and controlled substances now need to be opened by multiple keys in some states for accountability.
