Under Subsection 58-1-203(1), the experience requirements for licensure in Subsection 58-28-302(1) are defined, clarified, or established as follows:
(1)
(a)
Each applicant for licensure as a veterinarian shall complete 1,000 hours of
experience while licensed as a veterinarian intern under the supervision of a
licensed veterinarian.

Experience shall be earned in not less than six months and completed within two

(c) Experience in the following settings may
not fulfill this experience requirement:
(i)
temporary employment experiences of less than eight weeks in
duration;
(ii) part-time experience
of fewer than 20 hours per week; or
(iii) experience completed while employed as
unlicensed assistive personnel.
(d) If the experience is completed in a
jurisdiction outside of Utah that does not issue veterinarian, veterinarian
intern, or comparable licenses, or completed in a setting that does not require
licensure, the applicant shall demonstrate that the experience was:
(i) lawfully obtained;
(ii) obtained after the applicant met the
education requirement in Subsection
58-28-302(1)(b);
(iii) supervised by a licensed veterinarian,
or by a person who was exempted from licensure but possessed substantially
equivalent qualifications; and
(iv)
comparable to experience that would be obtained in a standard veterinarian
practice setting in Utah.
(e) Supervision may be obtained by indirect
supervision as defined in Section
58-28-102, if the supervisor
supplements the indirect supervision with routine face to face contact as the
supervisor considers appropriate in the supervisor's professional
judgment.

demonstrate completion of the experience required by submitting a verification
of experience signed by the applicant and by the applicant's supervisor on
forms approved by the Division.
(g)
If a supervisor is unavailable or refuses to provide a verification of
experience, the applicant shall:
(i) submit a
complete explanation of why the supervisor is unavailable; and
(ii) submit verification of the experience by
alternative means acceptable to the Board, which shall demonstrate that the
experience was:
(A) profession-related
work;
(B) competently performed;
and
(C) sufficient accumulated
experience for the applicant to be granted a license without jeopardy to the
public health, safety, or welfare.
