Yi Qiao
Wu
Brooklyn, New York
11228-3127
(American International
Acupuncture Institute, Brooklyn, New York, Diploma in Acupuncture,
2002)
Petition
for: Satisfaction of
pre-professional education requirement.
Statement of
Problem: Mr. Wu was
admitted to the American International Acupuncture Institute on the basis of his
study from 1990 to 1994 at Huatuo College of Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM). Mr. Wu has forwarded a
report from a national evaluation service stating that his study at that school
was equivalent to four years of postsecondary study in the United
States.
As part of the review of Mr.
Wu's education credentials, the Department wrote to the Department of Education
of Anhui Province of the People's Republic of China seeking information
regarding governmental recognition of Huatuo College of TCM. The Department of Education of Anhui
Province replied that Huatuo College of TCM is a U.S. registered college, which
uses the name Huangshan University of Medicine but has no substantive connection
with that University. Further, they
stated that Huangshan University of Medicine was not qualified to issue
diplomas. Additionally, Department staff have found no evidence that Huatuo
College of TCM was accredited by an acceptable accrediting agency in the United
States. Consequently, Mr. Wu's study at Huatuo College of TCM cannot be accepted
to satisfy the preprofessional education requirement.
After Mr. Wu was informed
that his preprofessional education was not acceptable, he enrolled in ASA
Institute of Business and Computer Technology in Brooklyn, New York, and
completed 60 credits, including 9 credits in biosciences He was awarded an
A.O.S. degree in January 2005. Mr.
Wu asks that this study be accepted to satisfy the preprofessional education
requirement. Department staff
support his petition.

Lapp
Ithaca, NY 14850
(University of Connecticut,
Storrs, Connecticut, M.S. in Nutritional Science, 1992)
Petition for: Waiver of New
York State requirements pertaining to experience.
Statement of
Problem: Julia Lapp became a Registered Dietitian (RD) on
October 16, 1993 when she met the requirements of the Commission on Dietetic
Registration by completing an accredited master’s degree program that included
an internship and attaining a passing score on the registered dietitian
examination. Ms. Lapp does not
qualify for licensure through the baccalaureate degree route as she has 38
semester hour credits in the professional dietetics and nutrition content
whereas 45 semester hour credits are required. However, she has completed the
content and distribution education requirements for the associate degree route.
For this route, 10 years of education and experience
credit within the last 15 years is required. The experience must include 2.5 years of
planned work experience and all of the experience must be supervised. Other RDs have verified nine years of
experience for Ms. Lapp and she completed an internship that qualifies as
planned work experience but it was not 2.5 years in length. Not all of Ms. Lapp’s experience has
been directly supervised.
Based on the unique qualifications of
the applicant, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Dietetics and
Nutrition recommends that the education and experience requirements, including
the planned work experience, be considered satisfied for Ms. Lapp through the
associate degree licensure route.

(Universite
Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France, Docteur en Medecine, June
1984)
Petition
for: Endorsement
of a French medical license and acceptance of hospital training completed in
France as the substantial equivalent of three years of ACGME-accredited
postgraduate hospital training.
Statement
of Problem: Dr.
Jan completed his medical studies at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in
1978 and received his medical degree in 1984. Upon receipt of his medical
degree, he was licensed in France. Commissioner’s Regulations allow endorsement
of an applicant’s license from another jurisdiction if appropriate requirements
are met. One of the requirements is the satisfactory passing of an acceptable
licensing examination.
Commissioner’s Regulations also state that an applicant for endorsement
cannot have failed any part of New York State’s licensing examination. At the
present time, New York State requires acceptable scores on Steps 1, 2, and 3 of
the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Dr. Jan has never
attempted this examination sequence.
He requests that his French license obtained by examination be
endorsed. The Executive Secretary
for the State Board for Medicine recommends that the licensing examination he
completed in France be accepted for endorsement.
Dr.
Jan completed a residency in general surgery and surgery specialties from
January 1978 to September 1984 at Assistance Publique, Paris, France and a
fellowship in pediatric surgery from October 1, 1984 to September 30, 1987 at
Necker Enfants Malades, Paris, France. He requests that his French hospital
training be considered the substantial equivalent of the three years of
ACGME-accredited postgraduate hospital training required for
licensure.

LAND
SURVEYING
04-01-15
Clifford Alan Wagner
Clifton Springs, NY 14432
Petition for: Acceptance of
experience.
Statement of Problem: The applicant is appealing
the determination of the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying
that he needs additional acceptable experience for licensure.
Mr. Wagner feels the review of his
experience was arbitrary and capricious as, despite additional documentation he
submitted, he was granted only six years and six months credit out of the twelve
years and one month experience he documented. He also protests the areas in which he
is required to document satisfactory experience. He states that he has experience in the
legal aspects of the profession and feels that being required to “demonstrate
Experience in Responsible charge of the office aspects of the profession” should
be illegal as he believes only a licensed land surveyor can be “in responsible
charge of all work performed under him.”
Also, Mr. Wagner notes that he qualified for North Carolina licensure and
that state verified that he was issued a license on September 7,
2000.
Mr. Wagner reports that he has
completed approximately 90 hours of postsecondary education with a major in
mathematics. However, since his postsecondary study has not been in land
surveying, Part 68 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education requires
that he submit documentation of eight years of practical work experience
satisfactory to the New York State Board and that he successfully complete
licensing examinations. At this
time, it appears he has passed two of the three examinations required for
licensure as a land surveyor in New York State. Section 68.5 of Regulations specifies
that practical experience in land surveying “ satisfactory” to the Board be
verified in a manner “acceptable” to the Board. This section also requires that the
applicant demonstrate, among other aspects, “adequate experience in charge of
the office aspects of the application” (defined by the State Board as evaluation
and analysis of field data, maintenance of survey records, client contact, and
supervision of office personnel) as well as “experience in the legal aspects of
the profession” (defined by the State Board as research of private and public
records necessary to trace title documents, preparation of final survey results
and contract preparation).
The State Board indicates that these tasks are not the same as being in
overall charge of the project.
The applicant’s documented prelicensure
experience in New York State and North Carolina has been reviewed three times by
two New York State Board members who are licensed land surveyors. Both Board members are in agreement that
the experience that has been submitted by the applicant does not meet all the
requirements of Section 68.5 of the Regulations. The applicant was notified in writing of
the Board member’s determination after each review. The Department sends letters to all land
surveying licensure applicants who have not met the requirements for licensure.
The letter identifies the areas where the applicant’s experience has not met the
requirements of the Regulations based on a review and evaluation by a State
Board member.. Due to a clerical error, one letter had
the wrong box checked off but this was corrected by the reviewer and so noted in
a subsequent letter to the applicant.
The Committee on the Professions has
reviewed the documentation submitted in support of Mr. Wagner’s application for
licensure as a land surveyor in New York State, including the supplemental
information he submitted to the Committee on November 2, 2004 and November 28,
2004. The Committee notes that two independent reviews by Land Surveying members
of the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying concluded that
Mr. Wagner’s experience as submitted does not meet all of New York State’s
requirements for licensure and, consequently, he does not qualify to sit for the
New York State Specific Examination that is required before licensure in New
York State. The additional
documentation he submitted after being initially notified of experience
deficiencies was considered. The Committee notes that the determination of
experience credit was in accordance with State Board procedures and that all
documentation submitted by Mr. Wagner was considered. After reviewing the total record, the
Committee finds that Mr. Wagner has not submitted any evidence that the State
Board experts in land surveying erred in
assessing petitioner’s experience documentation.made any errors in
professional judgment.
