2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 37:3557 — Examination

§3557.  Examination

A.  Examination of applicants to be massage therapists shall be conducted at such times and places and under such supervision as the board determines by rule; however, examinations shall be conducted at least twice in each calendar year.  The board shall give public notice and shall notify each person who has made satisfactory application for examination of the date, time, and place of examination.  

B.  The board shall determine by rule the scope, form, and content of the examination, which shall consist of both a written examination to test knowledge of anatomy and physiology and a practical demonstration or oral interview to verify skills necessary for the practice of massage therapy.  

C.  An applicant shall successfully pass the examination in order to be eligible for licensure as a massage therapist.  The board shall notify each applicant of the results of the examination in writing.  Any applicant who fails to pass the examination and is, therefore, refused licensure may take the examination again upon application and payment of an additional examination fee.  No applicant shall be allowed to take the examination more than twice within a two-year period.
