ARCHITECTURE
Petition
for: Waiver of New York
State requirements pertaining to
acceptability of licensing examinations for licensure by
endorsement.
Summary
Statement: The petitioners listed below are all
graduates of professionally accredited architecture programs who have applied
for licensure in New
York. All
have achieved, at a minimum, a Bachelor of Architecture degree. All petitioners have substantial
documented licensed experience in other states.
Prior to 1983, certain states did not require the Equivalency Examination
(EE) or the Qualifying Test (QT) if a candidate had a degree from an accredited
architecture program, and granted licensure upon passage of the Professional
Examination (PE). Prior to 1975,
most states recognized the Examination Syllabus (ES). The petitioners passed either the national Professional
Examination (PE) given prior to 1983, or portions of the national Examination
Syllabus (ES) given prior to 1975.
Prior to 1983, New
York State
required passage of the Equivalency Examination (EE), or passage of the
Qualifying Test (QT) in addition to passage of the national Professional
Examination. Each of the
petitioners satisfied the examination requirement in his initial state of
licensure by passing an acceptable licensing examination and attained licensure
in that state.
Section 7304(4) of Education Law and Section 69.3 of the Commissioner’s
Regulations require for endorsement that “… an architect licensed in another
state or jurisdiction as the result of successful completion of only the
professional examination in use before 1983 may be granted licensure upon
presentation of evidence of two years of work experience of a grade and
character satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture and passage of a
practical examination satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture
…”
The Department has no documentation of professional disciplinary actions
against the petitioners.
Each petitioner satisfied the examination requirement in his initial
state of licensure and has extensive professional practice starting prior to
1983. Since the above information
illustrates evidence of competence within the profession, and in lieu of the
practical examination, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for
Architecture recommends that the examination requirement be considered satisfied
and each applicant’s licensure in another state be accepted for endorsement in
New York State.

THREE-YEAR LIMITED LICENSE IN
PHARMACY
Petition
for:
Three-year limited license to practice pharmacy under Section 6805(6) of the
Education Law.
Statement of
Problem:
The applicant listed
below has met the education, examination and experience requirements for
licensure as a pharmacist in New
York State.
The only requirement for full licensure that cannot be satisfied at this time is
United States citizenship or
immigration status as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the
United
States.
The applicant also has a pending application for full pharmacy licensure,
which cannot be granted until he satisfies the citizenship or permanent
residency requirement.
Applicable
Guidelines:
Section 6805(6) of
Education Law relates to the requirement of United States citizenship or
permanent resident status for licensure as a pharmacist in New York State and
allows the Board of Regents to grant a one-time, three-year waiver (plus an
extension of not more than one year) for an alien pharmacist to practice in New
York State if all other licensure requirements are
satisfied.

RESPIRATORY
THERAPY

Elaine
Marie Warner
Gloversville,
NY 12078-2504
(Biosystems
Institute, Tempe, Arizona, Respiratory Therapist diploma, January
1983)
Petition
for: Waiver
of education requirement.
Statement
of Problem: Ms.
Warner lacks the required two-year associate or higher degree in respiratory
therapy from a satisfactory program required of all respiratory therapy
applicants after June 30, 1999. Prior to that date, an applicant could have
completed a two-year respiratory diploma program acceptable to the
Department. Ms. Warner obtained national Registry
status in 1983, but did not apply for licensure in New York
State until 2005.
The applicant has been
licensed in New York
State as a respiratory therapist technician on the
basis of her one-year Respiratory Therapist certificate program from Biosystems
Institute (January 1982 – January 1983) subsequent to her completion of 30
credits in liberal arts and sciences at
Fulton-Montgomery Community
College (1974 – 1975). She later obtained an Associates of Art
degree from Palm
Beach Community
College in May 2000. None of her later college studies were
in respiratory therapy. Ms. Warner is applying for licensure as a respiratory
therapist and asks for "individual review by the board to grant me a New York
State Registered Respiratory Therapist license" by waiving the requirement for a
respiratory therapy degree.
Ms.
Warner has presented other qualifications in the respiratory field. In July 1984, she passed the NBRC test
for Certified Pulmonary
Function Technologist. She has been licensed as a respiratory therapist
in the state of Florida since October 1986. In 1989, she received an Outstanding
Respiratory Care Practitioner Award from the Florida Society for Respiratory
Care (FSRC), Inc. Over 8000 Florida
Licensed Respiratory Therapists were eligible for this award which was granted
to six respiratory therapists, one for each of the six FSRC chapters.
Ms.
Warner was employed at progressively more responsible work settings at
Boca Raton Community Hospital in
Boca Raton, Florida from 1981 through February 10,
2005. This included a final year as
Operations Supervisor (Manager) of Respiratory Care, which included management
of the Arterial Blood Gas Laboratory and EEG and EKG technicians. She also was a clinical respiratory care
instructor for Palm Beach
Community College, acting as preceptor
for respiratory therapy students at
Boca Raton Community Hospital between 1989 – 2005.
Ms.
Warner's qualifications were reviewed by staff and members of the New York State
Board for Respiratory Therapy. In view of her respiratory education combined
with her other qualifications and practice, it is recommended that the
requirement for a respiratory therapy degree be waived.
