THE NORTH CAROLINA VETERINARY MEDICAL BOARD WWW.NCVMB.ORG
formerly the North Carolina Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners (1903-1961),
is mandated per N.C.G.S. § 90-187:
In order to promote the public health, safety and welfare by safeguarding the people of this State against unqualified or incompetent practitioners of veterinary medicine, it is hereby declared that the right to practice veterinary medicine is a privilege conferred by legislative grant to persons possessed of the personal and professional qualifications specified in this Article (The North Carolina Veterinary Practice Act. General Statutes of North Carolina, Article 11, Chapter 90).
The NCVMB, although a State regulatory and occupational licensing board, is an "independent agency". This is despite its existence, duties and responsibilities being mandated by the State.
The North Carolina Veterinary Practice Act prescribes the rules, regulations
and statutes governing the NCVMB and the practice of veterinary medicine in
North Carolina. View the
NC Veterinary Practice Act.
The NCVMB should not be confused with the NCVMA North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association. The NCVMA is a professional/trade organization that represents the interests of veterinarians. Both are located at 1611 Jones Franklin Road, Raleigh, NC the NCVMB is in suite 106, the NCVMA is in suite 108. Only the NCVMB has the authority to discipline licenses of veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians and others.
Information about complaints and disciplinary actions date back to 1903. The
entire complaint files are public record and can be obtained from the North
Carolina Veterinary Medical Board for a fee.
