Colorado: veterinary professional associate
Date postedNovember 20, 2024
A ballot measure has now passed in Colorado to create a new profession: veterinary professional associate. The VPA scope of practice will be very similar to the scope of practice for a veterinarian, with the exception of being able to prescribe medications. A VPA will likely be required to have three semesters of online classes and two semesters of clinical work. VPAs will work under the supervision of a veterinarian.
