25-38.1-3-3. Application for License; Requirements and Qualifications

Sec. 3. (a) As used in this subsection, "term" refers to an academic semester, trimester, or quarter. A person desiring a license to practice veterinary medicine shall make written application to the board. The application must state that the applicant is:
(1) a graduate of an accredited college of veterinary medicine; or
(2) enrolled in the last term of the last year of the veterinary medical curriculum of an accredited school of veterinary medicine.
If the applicant is enrolled as a last term student as described in subdivision (2), a letter from the dean of the student's veterinary school confirming that the applicant is a last term student, attesting to the satisfactory academic standing of the student, and stating the date on which the degree is expected to be conferred upon the student must accompany the application. A license to practice veterinary medicine in Indiana may not be issued until satisfactory proof has been furnished to the board either that the applicant has graduated from an accredited college of veterinary medicine, or that the applicant is the holder of an Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) certificate or a PAVE certificate. The application must show reasonable information and proof required by the board by rule. The application must be accompanied by the required fee.
(b) If the board determines that the applicant possesses the proper qualifications, the board may grant the applicant a license. If the board determines that the applicant is not qualified to take the examination or that the applicant does not qualify for a license without examination, the executive secretary of the board shall immediately notify the applicant in writing of the finding and the grounds for the finding. Applicants found unqualified may request a hearing on the question of their qualifications.
