John Izzo attended the September 17, 2014, monthly meeting
for the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board. The Board is still one
member short, one of the veterinarian appointments. Dr. Kidd, Dr. Kolb,
and Dr. Redman continue to be active in the AAVSB. Jack Advent from the
Ohio Veterinary Medical Association addressed the Board with his concerns about
a new Ohio Department of Health rule regarding radiographs. There was a
healthy discussion about an RVT applicant with a criminal history, who received
her certificate of registration under a 4-1 vote. The Board reviewed new
complaints and responses received to old complaints. In one case, the
Board discussed its ability to take an action against a veterinarian who did
not know that his staff provided unnecessary medication to a patient. In
this case, the Board decided not to take any disciplinary action because of the
veterinarian’s lack of knowledge.
