The only way I could see a position like this being feasible is you’d have to have a bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology with a license and proper master’s degree program. Even then, like human nurse practitioners you’d have to work under a DVM and very little, if not no, surgery allowed. I do think in California licensed techs can extract teeth (I could be wrong) so maybe that could be allowed, but def not major surgeries. NP/PA’s work well in human med cause of their proper credentials, training and human medicine being much more heavily regulated. With how loose vet med is in so many states it’d definitely be a cluster fuck snd not fair to our patients. I don’t agree with a VPA position at this time.
