Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1730-01-.16 - LICENSE
(1) Issuance - Upon the Board determining
that an applicant for licensure has successfully met all the requirements as
set forth in T.C.A. §§
63-12-101, et
seq., and these rules, the Board shall issue the applicant a
license to practice veterinary medicine in this state.
(2) Display of License - Every person
licensed by the Board in this state shall display his license and renewal
certificate in a conspicuous place in his principal office and, whenever
required, exhibit such license to the Board or its authorized
representative.
(3) Replacement
License or Renewal Certificate - A license holder, whose license or renewal
certificate has been lost or destroyed, may be issued a replacement document
upon receipt of a written request in the Board's administrative
office.
(4) Verification - Requests
for verification of licensure must be made in writing to the Board's
administrative office.
(5) Use of
Titles - Any person who possesses a valid, unsuspended and unrevoked license
issued by the Board has the right to use the title "Veterinarian," "Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine," "D.V.M." or "V.M.D.", and to practice veterinary
medicine, as defined in T.C.A. §
63-12-103. Any person licensed by
the Board to whom this rule applies must use one of the titles authorized by
this rule in every "advertisement" [as that term is defined in rule 1730-01-.20
] he or she publishes or the failure to do so will constitute an omission of a
material fact which makes the advertisement misleading and deceptive and
subjects the veterinarian to disciplinary action pursuant to T.C.A. §
63-12-124(a) (10), (a) (12), and (a)
(13).
