ARC 8028B
PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE DIVISION[645]
Adopted and Filed
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 147.76, the Board of Podiatry hereby amends Chapter 220, “Licensure of Podiatrists,” Iowa Administrative Code.
These amendments clarify that a residency program must be completed before permanent licensure is issued; remove language that requires the Board to give an applicant approval to sit for Part III of the examination; and require participating faculty of a podiatric college in Iowa who have clinical privileges to obtain permanent licensure, removing the faculty’s eligibility for temporary licensure.
Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on May 20, 2009, as ARC 7779B. A public hearing was held on June 17, 2009, from 9 to 9:30 a.m. in the Fifth Floor Board Room 526, Lucas State Office Building. No public comments were received, and no one attended the hearing.
Since publication of the Notice of Intended Action, a technical correction has been made to paragraph 220.6(2)“e” to remove the word “school’s” from the phrase “into the school’s residency program” at the end of the first sentence. Paragraph 220.6(2)“e” now reads as follows:
“e. Furnish an affidavit by the institution director or dean of an approved podiatric college from this state, attesting that the applicant has been accepted into a residency program. The residency program must be approved by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) of the American Podiatric Medical Association;”
The amendments were adopted by the Board of Podiatry on July 10, 2009.
These amendments will become effective September 16, 2009.
These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code chapters 147, 149 and 272C.
Editor's Note: Pursuant to recommendation of the Administrative Rules Review Committee published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin, September 10, 1986, the text of these amendments [220.2 to 220.4, 220.6, 220.7] is being omitted. With the exception of the change noted above, these amendments are identical to those published under Notice as ARC 7779B, IAB 5/20/09.
