This designation is NOT a degree and does not grant “authority, rights nor license.” ANWPB is not responsible for a member’s actions nor interpretation – misinterpretation of any international, federal, state laws. All members must consult their own local and state legislature as well as all federal/state licensing for the laws pertaining to their scope of practice.
