What it does

This bill requires an applicant for a license to practice podiatry to have completed two years in a residency program approved by the council on podiatric medical education. The bill also requires a licensee to provide documentation showing the completion of such a residency program at the time of the licensee’s first license renewal. This requirement applies to all applicants who graduate from a school of podiatry on or after the effective date of the bill. Under current law, an applicant must have completed a residency program as determined by the board of podiatry by rule.
