subject to such supervision and direction as 

 may be considered appropriate by the State 

 and or Federal re^uhUory officials. 



16. P^iilure to comply fully with the.se stand- 

 ards may be cause for removal from the li.st 

 of accredited veterinai-ians. 



VIOLATION OF STANDARDS 



If the standards for accredited veterinarians 

 are violated, the privileges of accreditation are 

 removed. This action is taken on evidence of 

 violation of standards upon recommendation 

 by either the cooperatinj? State or Federal 

 official in charge of livestock disease control 

 activities in the State where the violation oc- 

 curred. It is preferred that the recommenda- 

 tion for removal of acci'editation be made 

 jointly. Re.storation to the register of accred- 

 ited veterinarians can be accom])lished when 

 the applicant has demonstrated proper intent 

 of compliance with the standards to the satis- 

 faction of both the State and Federal official 

 in his State, who in turn make such recom- 

 mendation to the Director of the Division. 



This recommendation must meet the approval 

 of the Director. 



THE COLLEGES AND REGULATORY 

 VETERINARY MEDICINE 



During recent years, the Division has 

 worked with the Deans of the Schools of 

 Veterinary Medicine regarding regulatory 

 veterinary medicine and basic information on 

 the duties and responsibilities of accredited 

 veterinarians. Emphasis on this pha.se of 

 veterinary medicine is being given by the 

 schools, particularly to .senior .students. An 

 exploratory examination on veterinary accred- 

 itation is offered the senior classes to deter- 

 mine the knowledge gained in this field. 

 Excellent coojjeration has been received from 

 the schools of veterinary medicine. 



The livestock industry and the livestock 

 di.sease regulatory officials of this country 

 recognize the very important part that the 

 accredited veterinarians i)lay in the disea.se 

 control and eradication programs of the 

 Nation.
