No, veterinary assistants are not licensed professionals in any state in the US. In fact, no state requires any level of education or training for veterinary assistants. This is an entry-level position in a veterinary facility and training is usually done on-the-job.

There are courses offered at high schools and many "institutes of higher learning" to certify veterinary assistants but the quality of the education/training may vary greatly. This is because many programs are taught by instructors who have no veterinary medical background. If a person wishes to take a course or courses in veterinary assisting, choosing a program that is taught by a veterinary professional, approved by a veterinary medical association or offered by a college that also offers an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary technology program would be a good idea.

Veterinary assistant courses are basic vocational training courses will not prepare you to sit for the credentialing exams to become a veterinary technician in any state. Certification of veterinary assistants is also no legally recognized in any state.

You ned to check with the local authorites in the town that you wish to open a practice. If Iowa is governed by a state board for massage therapy, then in all likelyhood, they will not accept a license from another state. You can check online and find out. But if it is not goverened by a state board, then you might be able to use another state's license as part of your requirements for a local city or county license in Iowa.

How can you ddetermine if a specific physician is qualified to practice psychiatry?

They would have to have obtained a license to practice that sub-specialty of medicine.I believe (but am not entirely certain) that the law requires that their degree be displayed in their office.However, I AM 100% certain that their state license to practice medicine is required to be posted in their office in plain view of the public. From that you could detemine his license number and (if necessary) call the state licensing board and inquire what his qualifications are.

How can a doctor lose his license to practice in the US?

Each state has its own rules for licensing doctors. The Federal Government has nothing to do with it. However, if a doctor loses his license to practice in one state, it is difficult for him to get a license to practice in another state. Complaints against the doctor are investigated. Then the state board may decide to interview him. Some doctors have their privileges cut back. They can no longer prescribe schedule 2 medicines. They lose hospital privileges. Others lose their licenses it depends on the decisions of the medical boards.
