N.Y. Education Law 7008 – Limited residency permits and limited fellowship permits
§ 7008. Limited residency permits and limited fellowship permits. 1. Limited residency permits and limited fellowship 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 or fellow in podiatric medicine participating in an approved post-graduate residency or fellowship program to perform such duties, tasks and functions that are required for successful completion of such program under the administrative supervision of a licensed podiatrist serving as the residency or fellowship director, as applicable, in a hospital or health care facility licensed pursuant to Article 28 of the public health law. At any time during the residency or fellowship, 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 or fellow'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 or licensed podiatrist, as applicable, who remains in the immediate area where the procedures are being performed, authorizes the procedures and evaluates the procedures performed by the podiatric resident or fellow.
3. Such permit shall be issued for three years and may be renewed at the discretion of the department for additional one-year periods when necessary to permit the completion of an approved post-graduate residency or fellowship in podiatric medicine.
4. The fee for a limited residency permit or a limited fellowship permit shall be one hundred five dollars and the fee for a renewal shall be fifty dollars.
