Under what condition can a CE extension be granted?

The correct condition for granting a continuing education (CE) extension is if the board approves the request. Extensions typically require formal approval based on the licensee's circumstances and adherence to regulatory procedures.

While completing the CE within a specific time frame, such as 6 months, may be a factor considered in a request, the core requirement remains that the board has the ultimate authority to evaluate and approve such requests. This ensures that any extension granted aligns with the continuing education requirements established by the veterinary practice regulations in New Mexico. It's important for licensees to recognize that the decision lies with the governing body and must be substantiated with valid reasons, rather than relying solely on completion timelines or personal circumstances.
