+ Every State is regulated by its own veterinarian boards, and all treatments of animals are administered by a State Board Licensed Practitioner (in each respective state). Monitoring, compliance, enforcement and re-licensing of State Licensed Practitioners will vary on a state by state basis.

• If a PEMF Equine Technician is not licensed by the state in which he/she operates a PEMF device, yet the Technician markets himself/herself as a “Practitioner” or “Therapist” or as “Certified,” these monikers, particularly “Certified,” and the various claims made by the Technician may mislead the public by projecting the appearance that the Technician’s application activities are sanctioned by that specific State Regulatory Agency, when they are not. A number of State Regulatory Agencies currently penalize "Certified" Practitioners because the unregulated "Certification" clearly infers a claim that he/she operates under an umbrella ofWhat actually constitutes a pass or a fail? And what percentage of applicants actually pass? If all you need to do is buy a device, more than likely, you will “pass” any test, because failure means you should not be using the PEMF Device you just purchased! Thus, what is the value of the certification? State Regulatory control when this is not the case.

• Currently, no state Vet board will sanction, monitor or regulate non-medically licensed PEMF Equine Care Specialist or any non-licensed Equine Technician. A Practitioner/Therapist is an individual that is licensed to diagnose, prescribe and treat within the allowable scope of practice by the related State Medical Board.

• Before agreeing to become “Certified,” we highly recommend performing some research to discover if any standardized PEMF application methodologies are employed and enforced across all Practitioners who are “Certified” by the certifying organization. Consider that if the certifying organization’s specific application standards and protocols existed among the “Certified” Practitioners, then there should be explicit uniformity when applications are administered from all "Certified" Practitioners.

+ Still interested in the idea of being “certified”? When you call a company that provides “Certification,” consider the following:

• Are you able to receive the certification before you have done any treatments or ssessions on a horse, human or other animal?
• Request exacting information about what specific steps are required prior to obtaining a “Certification” from the certifying organization.
• What exactly is the definition of being “Certification” by the certifying organization offering it? This definition should make sense and be easily obtainable and quickly shared.
• What specific body of knowledge is required by the certifying organization?
  • How is the applicant tested and re-tested over the course of the next two years regarding his/her knowledge, understanding and application of PEMF technology on a horse?
  • How often is the applicant tested on an ongoing basis? You must obtain hard copy evidence to support a certifying organization's claim.
• What are the various methods employed by the certifying organization to deliver educational information and content to the applicant on an ongoing basis?
• How is actual administration of PEMF technology on a horse demonstrated by the certifying organization?
• Who are the actual individuals who will test the applicants and determine a pass/fail, and more importantly, what are their standards? Thos standard must be readily available for review.
• What actually constitutes a pass or a fail? And what percentage of applicants actually pass? If all you need to do is buy a device, more than likely, you will “pass” any test, because failure means you should not be using the PEMF Device you just purchased! Thus, whst is the value of the certification?

• IMPORTANT: Does the certifying organization specifically prohibit its non-licensed “Certified” Technicians from making medical claims and diagnosing and prescribing PEMF applications?

  • If so, does the certifying organization have such requirements posted on its website and require the same of its “Certified” Technicians on their website or marketing materials?
  • If so, specifically request that the certifying organization send a copy of the link to the page on its website (and those of its Certified Technicians ) as evidence.
  • If the certifying organization’s marketing material announces, for example, “detects soreness,” a medical claim is being made because detecting anything is fundamentally a diagnosis.
  • How does the certifying organization actually monitor its “Certified” Technicians for proper compliance with the certifying organization's treatment protocols and standards? This is the true litmus test that further validates the authenticity of any certifying body.
  • How and when does the certifying organization enforce use of such protocols and standards in order for the Practitioner to remain “Certified”?
  • Has the certifying organization obtained any regulatory approvals from any of the 50 separate vet boards in the USA? If so, which ones? Will the certifying organization provide evidence of such approvals?
  • Ask if the “Certified” Technicians of the certifying organization are allowed to treat at FEI sanctioned events. FEI now has regulation which is called “Permitted Therapists.”
  • Before agreeing to become “Certified,” we highly recommend performing some research to discover if any standardized PEMF application methodologies are employed and enforced across all Practitioners who are “Certified” by the certifying organization.
  • Consider that if the certifying organization’s specific application standards and protocols existed among the “Certified” Practitioners, then there should be explicit uniformity when applications are administered from all "Certified" Practitioners.

  For all the above reasons, Magnus Magnetica has made a conscious, well-informed and deliberate decision to avoid “Certification” of its Technicians at this point in time. Rather, we have chosen a path to provide the most up-to-date information, research and proven protocols to our constituent Technicians through our educational channels, network of licensed vets and personalized training.
