of the | ||||||
| 16 | Department, a temporary permit to practice under the direct
| ||||||

| 18 | until: (1) the applicant has been notified of the results of | ||||||
| 19 | the examination
authorized by the Department; or (2) the | ||||||
| 20 | applicant has withdrawn his or her

| ||||||
| 21 | A temporary permit may be issued by the Department to a | ||||||
| 22 | person who is a

| 23 | state, a territory of the
United States, or a foreign country, | ||||||

shall be | ||||||
| 10 | performed under the direction of a supervising veterinarian who | ||||||
| 11 | is licensed in this State. The holder of the
temporary permit | ||||||
| 12 | shall not be entitled to otherwise engage in the

| ||||||
| 13 | veterinary medicine until fully licensed in this State.
| ||||||
| 14 | Upon the revocation of a temporary permit, the Department | ||||||
| 15 | shall
immediately notify, by certified mail, the supervising
| ||||||
| 16 | veterinarian employing the holder
of a temporary permit and the | ||||||
| 17 | holder of the permit. A temporary permit
shall be revoked by | ||||||
| 18 | the Department upon proof that the holder of the permit has
| ||||||
| 19 | engaged in the practice of veterinary medicine in this State | ||||||
| 20 | outside his or
her employment under a licensed veterinarian.
