Under what condition will the Board extend a temporary permit?

The Board will extend a temporary permit if the permittee submits evidence that they are scheduled for the next state exam because this condition demonstrates the permittee's commitment to fulfilling the licensing requirements necessary to practice legally. By scheduling the exam, the permittee indicates they are actively working towards obtaining full licensure, which aligns with the Board's goal of ensuring that only qualified individuals practice veterinary medicine in Arizona. This extension provides the permittee with the opportunity to continue working while preparing for the examination, thus supporting both public welfare and the professional development of the permittee.

Other options may not align closely with the Board's regulations or policies regarding temporary permits. For instance, submission of job evidence or additional CE credits might not directly relate to the immediate necessity of demonstrating readiness for the licensure exam, which is a critical benchmark for veterinary practice. Having documented support from employers, while potentially helpful, does not provide the same level of assurance about the permittee’s progress towards achieving permanent licensure.
