Six months internship requirement.

All applicants for licensing must, after receiving their DVM or equivalent degree, complete six continuous months of practical experience under the direct or indirect supervision of a board approved licensed veterinarian in any state before a license will be issued. Preceptorship time required by any school of veterinary medicine shall apply towards six months internship. Upon completion of this six-months period, a letter signed by the supervising veterinarian stating that the applicant has satisfactorily completed this period must be submitted to the board. If it is determined that the applicant has satisfactorily completed all requirements for licensing, a license may be issued.
