§ 4129 - Licensing examination
§ 4129. Licensing examination
(a) The director, or designee, shall administer the licensing examination to applicants at least twice each year if applications are pending. Examinations administered by the director and the procedures of administration shall be fair and reasonable and shall be designed and implemented to ensure that all applicants are granted a license if they demonstrate that they possess minimal professional qualifications which are consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. The examination shall not be designed or implemented for the purpose of limiting the number of licenses issued.
(b) The director shall waive the examination requirement if the applicant is a naturopathic physician regulated under the laws of another jurisdiction who is in good standing to practice naturopathic medicine in that jurisdiction and, in the opinion of the director, the standards and qualifications required for regulation in that jurisdiction are at least equal to those required by this chapter.
