§ 6505-c. Articulation between military and civilian professional
careers. 1. The commissioner shall develop, jointly with the
commissioner of the department of veterans' services, a program to
facilitate articulation between participation in the military service of
the United States or the military service of the state and admission to
practice of a profession. The commissioner and the commissioner of
veterans' services shall identify, review and evaluate professional
training programs offered through either the military service of the
United States or the military service of the state which may, where
applicable, be accepted by the department as equivalent education and
training in lieu of all or part of an approved program. Particular
emphasis shall be placed on the identification of military programs
which have previously been deemed acceptable by the department as
equivalent education and training, programs which may provide, where
applicable, equivalent education and training for those professions
which are critical to public health and safety and programs which may
provide, where applicable, equivalent education and training for those
professions for which shortages exist in the state of New York.
2. The commissioner and the director shall prepare a list of those
military programs which have previously been deemed acceptable by the
department as equivalent education and training in lieu of all or part
of an approved program no later than the thirtieth of August, two
thousand three. On and after such date, such list shall be made
available to the public and applicants for admission to practice of a
profession.
3. The commissioner and the director shall prepare a list of those
military programs which may provide, where applicable, equivalent
education and training for those professions which are critical to
public health and safety, programs which may provide, where applicable,
equivalent education and training for those professions for which
shortages exist in the state of New York and any other military programs
which may, where applicable, be accepted by the department as equivalent
education and training in lieu of all or part of an approved program no
later than the thirty-first of October, two thousand three. On and after
such date, such list shall be made available to the public and
applicants for admission to practice of a profession.

of June thereafter with additions and deletions made jointly by the
