Under Subsections 58-1-203(1) and 58-28-309(2)(e), the experience required for state certification as a state certified veterinary technician is as follows:
(1)
(a)
Each applicant shall have completed at least six continuous months of full time
experience working in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary technician or as
unlicensed assistive personnel, under the supervision of a veterinarian that
has held an active license in good standing for at least two years;
or
(b) if the experience is
completed in a jurisdiction outside of Utah that does not issue veterinary
technician certification or comparable licenses, or completed in a setting that
does not require certification or licensure, the applicant shall demonstrate
that the experience was:
(i) lawfully
obtained;
(ii) obtained after the
applicant met the education requirement described in Section
R156-28-309a;
(iii) supervised by a
licensed veterinarian, or by a person who was exempted from licensure but
possessed substantially equivalent qualifications; and
(iv) comparable to veterinary technician
experience that would be obtained in a standard veterinary practice setting in
Utah.
(2) Each applicant shall demonstrate completion of the required experience by submitting a verification of experience signed by the applicant and by the applicant's supervisor on forms approved by the Division.
(3) If a supervisor is unavailable or refuses to provide a verification of experience, the applicant shall:
(a) submit a complete explanation of why the
supervisor is unavailable; and
(b)
submit verification of the experience by alternative means acceptable to the
Board, which shall demonstrate that the experience was:
(i) profession-related work;
(ii) competently performed; and
(iii) sufficient experience for the applicant
to be granted state certification without jeopardy to the public health,
safety, or welfare.
