Jim,
Thanks for the clarification.
I am used to working with occupational licenses, including physicians, in other states. New York is different.
My apologies for the confusion.
The confusion on my part arose from the word “Registered.”
Some states allow an individual who is licensed in another state to “Register” and practice in that state. This is often done where individuals practice in several states. In order to do this you must be licensed in one state at all times.
Confusing, especially with 50 different sets of rules. I never liked dealing with NY governmental agencies. (It’s the only state where I ever paid for a permit to pay my employees by check instead of cash!)
