Should Vet Med have mid levels?

On this episode of Pawsit Dr. Sam and Dr. Robert discuss the new proposal in Colorado to create "mid-level" veterinary professionals. Prop 129 in Colorado is the proposition that sparked this conversation. In veterinary medicine our technicians operate much like human nurses, and then some. Do we really need to add this new position? Will this solve the problem of access to care, or cause new unintended consequences? Dr. Robert and Dr. Sam have a frank discussion about their concerns with this proposal. Join us to get our perspectives on this important issue!
Also, it is Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week, and we at MyBalto and the Pawsit podcast would love to send a heart felt shout out to all of the hard working, brilliant and caring veterinary technicians out there! We love you!
Thanks for tuning in and as always, we take questions for upcoming podcasts at [email protected]. We are happy to make an entire podcast about the topic or answer the question on a shorter segment, depending on the discussion! We video this podcast as well which you can join in on at myBalto's youtube channel!
