PURPOSE: This amendment updates the requirements for faculty licensure and deletes the reference to state board examination fees.

(1) The board may issue a veterinary faculty license to any qualified applicant associated with the University of Missouri-Columbia, College of Veterinary Medicine, and involved in the instructional program of either undergraduate or graduate veterinary medical students. In order to qualify for a faculty license, the applicant must-

(A) Demonstrate ability to communicate in and understand written and spoken English; and

(B) Have been actively engaged in the practice of veterinary medicine for at least five (5) consecutive years immediately prior to making application in Missouri. This may include academic or institutional practice under a faculty license; or

(C) Have completed a clinical internship of twelve (12) months or longer; or

(D) Have completed a residency recognized and approved by the appropriate American Board of Veterinary Specialties organization.

(2) All applicants for this faculty license shall:

(A) Provide for the board a transcript or diploma demonstrating graduation from a reputable veterinary program;

(B) Schedule an appearance before the board prior to the issuance of a license; and

(C) Take and pass the State Board Examination.

(3) A faculty license will qualify a veterinarian to apply for federal accreditation with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or deputyship with the Missouri Department of Agriculture. However, the accreditation is only valid under the umbrella of the university as to the restriction of the license.

(4) A license issued under this rule shall restrict the licensee to practice only on behalf of the University of Missouri where s/he is employed as a member of the faculty. This shall include both on-site and ambulatory practice settings.

(5) A license issued under this rule shall expire upon termination of the licensee's employment by the university. The licensee shall notify the board immediately upon termination of his/her employment.

(6) The applicant shall submit the registration fee and the faculty license fee.

(7) All licenses issued under this rule shall have the word "Faculty" on them.

(8) Faculty licenses shall be renewed annually by submitting the renewal application and fee.

(9) Unless otherwise specified, all provisions of Chapter 340, RSMo, and its rules, shall apply to individuals applying or licensed under this rule.
