Final answer:
The statement is true; the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE) is required in the US for veterinary technicians, excluding Puerto Rico.
Step-by-step explanation:
True or False: The VTNE is required as part of the veterinary technician credential process in all regulated jurisdictions of the US except Puerto Rico. This statement is true. The Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE) is indeed a requirement for licensure as a veterinary technician in the vast majority of the United States. However, Puerto Rico is the exception where the VTNE is not mandated.
