LITTLETON, Colo. — Dr. Will French has been a veterinarian at Littleton Equine Medical Center for over a decade. He also served as the president of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association , which represents veterinary professionals across the state."People were staying home, paying more attention to their animals and wanting to give them more care,” he said.
To ease the shortage, the Vet Care Coalition is pushing for the creation of a mid-level veterinary professional associate , like a physician assistant in human medicine. That person would work under the supervision of a veterinarian. "There's no state right now that would allow a veterinary PA. Colorado is leading the way in this conversation,” Steele said last month."Right now, there is no accreditation for a potential mid-level practitioner program. And there's no national competency for these mid-level practitioners,” he said.
