The New York State Education Department (“SED”) Office of the Professions (“OP”) is alerting everyone to a vishing scam that has been brought to our attention. Phishing—or “vishing”—scams impersonate SED employees or websites attempting to collect licensure and personal information from the licensee. If you receive an inquiry which you believe to be suspicious do not provide any information. To verify if the inquiry was from OP, contact us directly. You may report any suspicious communication received to the Federal Trade Commission.

Form 2 - Certification Of Professional Education

This form must be submitted directly by the professional school.

  • Section I: Complete this section of the form before sending it to your professional school. If you graduated from a veterinary school not accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), notify the school that a transcript must accompany the form. A description of the structure and contents of the clinical portion of the veterinary program may also be needed.

    If you have attended more than one academic institution, copy the form and send one to each institution.

    If your education was completed outside the United States, attach to your Application for Licensure (Form 1) a copy of your secondary school diploma or certificate, and your preprofessional and professional credentials (transcript and diploma). Each document not printed in English must be accompanied by an original acceptable translation that includes all written and printed matter on the original and has been translated by a qualified translator.

    NOTE: Translations that do not meet Education Department requirements may be referred back to the applicant.

  • Section II:  The registrar, dean, rector, or principal of the veterinary school must complete the appropriate parts of this section and return the form directly to the Office of the Professions in an official school envelope at the address on the form.

Please make as many copies of Form 2 as needed.
