The Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board
was established for the purpose of licensing veterinarians and registered veterinary
technicians. The Board is the regulatory agency for the practice of veterinary
medicine in Ohio and is governed by Chapter 4741 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Its
mission is to insure that the citizens of Ohio are served by professional, trustworthy
and competent veterinarians and veterinary technicians. The Board accomplishes
this mission by timely issuing licenses, approving candidates for examination
for license, approving continuing education courses required for the license,
investigating complaints involving licensed veterinarians or registered veterinary
technicians or violations of the practice act, providing compliance inspections
of veterinary facilities and establishing a working relationship with all Federal,
State and local regulatory agencies relating to veterinary medicine.
