7008 - Limited residency permits. - New York Statutes

§ 7008. Limited residency permits. 1. Limited residency permits may be issued by the department to graduates of a program of professional education in podiatry registered by the department or accredited by an accrediting agency acceptable to the department. 2. Such permits shall allow a resident in podiatric medicine participating in an approved post-graduate residency program to perform such duties, tasks and functions that are required for successful completion of the residency program under the administrative supervision of a licensed podiatrist serving as the residency director in a hospital or health care facility licensed pursuant to article twenty-eight of the public health law. At any time during the residency a licensed physician or a licensed podiatrist may provide direct personal supervision of activities which he or she is authorized and competent to provide in the approved facility; provided, however, when the resident's training involves practice beyond that authorized in section seven thousand one of this article, a licensed physician shall provide direct personal supervision. For the purposes of this section, direct personal supervision means supervision of procedures based on instructions given directly by a licensed physician who remains in the immediate area where the procedures are being performed, authorizes the procedures and evaluates the procedures performed by the podiatric resident. 3. Such permit shall be issued for one year and may be renewed at the discretion of the department for one or two additional years when necessary to permit the completion of an approved post-graduate residency in podiatric medicine. 4. The fee for a limited residency permit shall be one hundred five dollars and the fee for a renewal shall be fifty dollars.
