In this episode, the Dogtor Bros dive into the controversial Colorado Proposition 129, which could establish the position of a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA). The VPA role would allow professionals to work under licensed veterinarians with the ability to diagnose, prescribe, and even perform surgeries. With Colorado voters set to decide on November 5, the team explores the potential impacts of this new position on veterinary medicine.
They examine key questions: Should someone with a master’s degree be qualified to perform surgeries and make diagnoses? What risks come with allowing MLPs to operate under protocols created by veterinarians? And how might this proposal affect existing veterinary education programs?
The Dogtor Bros also debate whether creating the VPA role could help solve the ongoing veterinary shortage—or if it raises too many concerns about quality of care.
Tune in for an in-depth discussion on one of the most talked-about topics in vet med today!
