1. Providing Veterinary Services
The North Carolina Veterinary Practice Act prohibits an individual from practicing veterinary medicine in this State without first having obtained a license or temporary permit from the Board. The law provides that if an individual practices, or attempts to practice veterinary medicine without being licensed by the NC Board, constitutes a Class-I criminal law misdemeanor.
The penalty for the unauthorized practice of veterinary medicine is set forth in General Statute 90-187.12. Further, such act of unlicensed practice can provide the basis for the Board to file a lawsuit seeking civil injunction against the person(s) in the Superior Court of this State.
NCGS 90-181 Definitions(6) 'Practice of veterinary medicine' means:
a. To diagnose, treat, correct, change, relieve, or prevent animal disease, deformity, defect, injury, or other physical or mental conditions; including the prescription or administration of any drug, medicine, biologic, apparatus, application, anesthetic, other therapeutic/diagnostic substance or technique on any animal.
2. Veterinary - Client - Patient Relationship (VCPR)
NC General Statute 90-181(7a) defines the VCPR as follows:
a. The veterinarian has assumed the responsibility for making medical judgments regarding the health of the animal and the need for medical treatment, and the client (owner or other caretaker) has agreed to follow the instruction of the veterinarian.
b. There is sufficient knowledge of the animal by the veterinarian to initiate at least a general or preliminary diagnosis of the medical condition of the animal. This means that the veterinarian has recently seen and is personally acquainted with the keeping and care of the animal by virtue of an examination of the animal or by medically appropriate and timely visits to the premises where the animal is kept.
c. The practicing veterinarian is readily available or provides for follow-up in case of adverse reactions or failure of the regimen of therapy.
NCGS 90-187.8 Discipline of licensees
(b) The Board may impose and collect from a licensee a civil monetary penalty of up to five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each violation of this Article or a rule adopted under this Article. The amount of the civil penalty, up to the maximum, shall be determined upon a finding of one or more of the following factors:
(18) Selling, dispensing, prescribing, allowing the sale, dispensing, prescription of biologics, controlled substances, drugs or medicines without a veterinarian-client-patient relationship with respect to the sale, dispensing or prescription.

This permit allows an individual who has applied for the NC State Exam to obtain a certificate to practice veterinary medicine under the supervision of a NC licensed veterinarian while awaiting their scheduled test date. To apply for a Temporary Permit, you must first apply for the State Exam. If you've already done so, log in to the Licensure Gateway and select the Temporary Permit application for those taking the exam and submit.

TYPE-2
60-Day Temporary Permit: For a Non-Resident Veterinarian
Another type of temporary permit is also available to a non-resident veterinarian validly licensed in another state, territory or district of the United States or a foreign country, provided that such temporary permit shall be issued for a period of no more than sixty (60) days. G.S. 90-187.4 For those seeking a 60-Day Temporary Permit, you must first create an account (register) via the Licensure Gateway. Once registered, you will log back in and select the 60-Day Temporary Permit application to submit.

7. Inactive Status: A status you may want to consider if contemplating retirement
A veterinarian or a veterinary technician may elect 'Inactive Status' by submitting an on-line application or letter of request to the Board office. To qualify, you must NOT be practicing veterinary medicine in any state or hold an Active veterinary license or veterinary trechnician registration anywhere. An individual still practicing veterinary medicine, employed where a degree in veterinary medicine is required or preferred, would not be eligible for 'Inactive Status'.
To request this status, log into the Licensure Gateway and click on the business card looking item with the word 'Veterinarian' or 'Veterinary Technician'. This will open another window with multiple options. Select 'Inactivate' and submit your request. Once approved, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail.
REINSTATEMENT:
The veterinarian or veterinary technician who has an 'Inactive Status' may have their NC license/registration reinstated at any time. The requirements to reinstate are proof of 20 hours of continuing education for a veterinarian and 12 hours of continuing education for veterinary technicians (2 of these hours are required to be on the abuse of controlled substances), renewal fee and submission of an on-line reinstatement application.

GS 90-187.9 NCAC .0108 NCAC .0308
9. VETERINARY SPECIALIST Definition - NCVMB Position Statement
Adopted May 2022
The NCVMB considers that "Specialist" indicates a veterinarian or registered veterinary technician who has been awarded and has maintained the status of:
- Diplomate of a specialty organization recognized by the American Board of Veterinary Specialties of the American Veterinary Medical Association or
- Specialist by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians or
- Any other organization approved by the NCVMB
What Are the Position Statements of the Board?
The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board’s (NCVMB) position statements are interpretive statements that attempt to define or explain the meaning of laws or rules that govern the practice of Veterinarians and Registered Veterinary Technicians in North Carolina. They also are intended to set forth criteria or guidelines used by the Board’s staff in investigations and in the prosecution or settlement of cases.
When considering the Board’s position statements, the following four points should be kept in mind.
- In the position statements, the NCVMB attempts to articulate some of the standards it believes applicable to the veterinary medical profession it regulates. However, a position statement should not be seen as the promulgation of a new standard as of the date of issuance or amendment.
- The position statements are not intended to be comprehensive or to set out exhaustively every standard that might apply in every circumstance. Therefore, the absence of a position statement or a position statement’s silence on certain matters should not be construed as the lack of an enforceable standard.
- The existence of a position statement should not necessarily be taken as an indication of the NCVMB’s enforcement priorities.
- A lack of disciplinary actions to enforce a particular standard mentioned in a position statement should not be taken as an abandonment of the principles set forth therein.
The NCVMB will continue to decide each case before it on all the facts and circumstances presented during a disciplinary hearing whether or not the issues have been the subject of a position statement. The NCVMB intends that the position statements will reflect the NCVMB’s philosophy on certain subjects and give licensees some guidance for avoiding NCVMB scrutiny. The principles of professionalism and performance expressed in the position statements apply to all persons licensed and/or registered by the NCVMB to render veterinary medical care at any level.
10. Levels of Supervision
The following were voted on and approved by the Board at the November 2017 meeting:
“Immediate Supervision” means that the veterinarian is in the immediate area and within audible and visual range of the patient and the individual treating the patient under the direction of the veterinarian.
“Direct Supervision” means the veterinarian is on the premises, has assumed responsibility for the care of the patient, and is readily available to assist the individual treating the patient under the direction of the veterinarian.
“Indirect Supervision” means the veterinarian need not be on the premises; has given either written or oral instructions for treatment of the patient; is readily available by telephone or other forms of immediate communication; and has assumed responsibility for the veterinary care given the patient by the individual working under the direction of the veterinarian.

18. Prescriptions
In March, 1996, NC Assistant Attorney General, Kip D. Sturgis, contacted the Board as a result of complaints received by the Attorney General's office concerning veterinarians and prescriptions. Mr. Sturgis summarized his office concerns as follows: The first concern is on medically unjustified restraint of competition in the market for veterinary medicine. The second is directed to the ethics of these anticompetitive practices that not only place the veterinarian's commercial interest in direct conflict with the animal's owner, but may also undermine the veterinarian's professional purpose to promote animal health by foreseeably leading some owner to delay or forego veterinary treatment of their animals. The third is relected by complaints both agencies have received and focuses on the damage these practices have on the public's perception of veterinarians' professionalism. Assistant Attorney General K.D. Sturgis' letter
If a veterinarian, based upon his/her medical opinion, is willing to dispense medication, then the veterinarian must also provide a prescription in place of said medication should the owner request a prescription. If a veterinarian, based upon his/her medical opinion, is not willing to dispense medication, then it would also be appropriate to deny a request for a prescription.
Federal legislation has been introduced in both the House and the Senate directly involving veterinary prescriptions. The title of this legislation is the Fairness to Pet Owners Act. The House version is HR 3174. The Senate version is S1200.

(Microchipping - see number 45 below.)

They may perform duties including collection of specimen, testing for intestinal parasites, collecting blood, testing for heartworms and conducting other laboratory tests, taking radiographs, and cleaning & polishing teeth, provided that the employee has had sufficient on-the-job training by a veterinarian to perform these specified duties in a competent manner. It shall be the responsibility of the veterinarian supervising the employee to ascertain that the employee performs these specified duties assigned to the employee in a competent manner. (Microchipping - see number 46 below) These specified duties shall be performed under the direct supervision of the veterinarian in charge of administering care to the patient.

Minimum Standards for Practitioners' Handling of Controlled Substances
Controlled substances must be stored in a securely locked cabinet of substantial construction; this includes controlled substances that require refrigeration.
Even though the Federal regulations do not specifically define locked cabinet construction, the intent of the law is that controlled substances must be adequately safeguarded. Therefore, depending on other security measures, a wooden cabinet may or may not be considered adequate. In an area with a high crime rate, a strong metal cabinet or safe may be required.
Some of the factors considered when evaluating a practitioner's controlled substances security include:
- The number of employees, customers and/or patients who have access to the controlled substances.
- The location of the registrant (high or low crime area).
- Use of an effective alarm system.
- Quantity of controlled substances to be kept on hand.
- Prior history of theft or diversion
