The scope of practice of an Extern shall be limited to the practice of acupuncture and oriental medicine as defined in the Act and 16.2.2 NMAC, except that the Extern shall not prescribe or administer any herbal, nutritional, homeopathic or any other medicines or substances. When diagnosing and treating a patient, the Extern shall practice only within the limits of his or her education and training. The Extern shall possess and apply the knowledge, and use the skill and care ordinarily used by reasonably well-qualified Doctors of Oriental Medicine practicing under similar circumstances, giving due consideration to their limited clinical experience.
