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 twenty-eight 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.
