VETERINARY MEDICAL BOARD

Principal Address; Exam/Licensing Regulations

This rulemaking action amends sections in title 16 of the California Code of Regulations to reflect the change to taking the Veterinary and Veterinary Technician examinations anytime online as opposed to on specified examination administration dates. The rulemaking also changes the number of months in advance of the national veterinary examination an applicant may apply to take that examination. It adds Western University of Health Sciences to the list of institutions whose graduates are exempt from having to take the separate veterinary law and ethics examination. It also repeals the examination application forms and instructions for the Veterinary and Veterinary Technician examinations and adopts new forms and instructions for each.
