(a) (1) The Board has the exclusive power to establish and alter the standards of preliminary and professional education and training requirements of applicants for the examination for a license. (2) The Board may establish an annual continuing education requirement of at least 12 hours as a condition to any license renewal. (b) The Board may investigate and determine the acceptability of and approve or disapprove any college or institution for the education and training of students desiring to practice veterinary medicine. It may cancel or revoke approval if the college or institution no longer is deemed satisfactory. However, the approval of the American Veterinary Medical Association of a college or institution is sufficient to qualify the college or institution. Any veterinarian desiring to be licensed to practice veterinary medicine shall have completed the course of study prescribed by an approved college or institution.
