In our final part (for now...) of uncovering Proposition 129 and the VPA position the ladies are joined by the Dean for the College of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University, Dr. Sue VandeWoude. They discuss the VPA curriculum, why CSU hasn't created a vet tech program, the possibility of VPAs not being hired, and more!
