How many examinations per year must the Board hold?

The Board is required to hold at least one examination per year to assess the qualifications and competencies of candidates seeking licensure in veterinary practice. This one examination serves as an essential opportunity for applicants to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in veterinary medicine, ensuring that only qualified individuals are allowed to practice in North Carolina.

Holding more than one examination, although possible, is not mandated, thereby making the requirement of one examination the minimum. This setup allows the Board to effectively manage the examination process while still maintaining the standards of veterinary practice within the state.
