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.
