N.Y. Educ. Law § 6708 — Definition of practice of veterinary technology is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
§ 6708. Definition of practice of veterinary technology. 1. The practice of the profession of veterinary technology is defined as the performance of services within the field of veterinary medicine by a person who, for compensation or personal profit, is employed by or under the supervision of a veterinarian to perform such duties as are required in carrying out medical orders as prescribed by a licensed veterinarian requiring an understanding of veterinary science, but not requiring professional service as set forth in section sixty-seven hundred one of this article.
2. The commissioner shall promulgate regulations defining the functions an veterinary technician may perform that are consistent with the training and qualifications for a license as an veterinary technician. The commissioner may further require that a licensee may practice within an area of specialization only upon the successful completion of an examination established for the purpose of establishing competence in a specific area of practice in the field of veterinary technology.
