(A) An individual seeking to pursue an internship, residency, or clinical fellowship program in podiatric medicine and surgery in this state, who does not hold a license to practice podiatric medicine and surgery issued under this chapter, shall apply to the state medical board for a training certificate. The application shall be made on forms that the board shall furnish and shall be accompanied by an application fee of one hundred thirty dollars.
An applicant for a training certificate shall furnish to the board all of the following:
(1) Evidence satisfactory to the board that the applicant is at least eighteen years of age;
(2) Evidence satisfactory to the board that the applicant has been accepted or appointed to participate in this state in one of the following:
(a) An internship, residency, or clinical fellowship program accredited by either the council on podiatric medical education or the American podiatric medical association;
(b) A clinical fellowship program that is not accredited as described in division (A)(2)(a) of this section, but is conducted at an institution with a residency program that is accredited as described in that division and is in a clinical field the same as or related to the clinical field of the fellowship program.
(3) Information identifying the beginning and ending dates of the period for which the applicant has been accepted or appointed to participate in the internship, residency, or clinical fellowship program;
(4) Any other information that the board requires.
(B) If no grounds for denying a license or certificate under section 4731.22 of the Revised Code apply and the applicant meets the requirements of division (A) of this section, the board shall issue a training certificate to the applicant. The board shall not require an examination as a condition of receiving a training certificate.
A training certificate issued pursuant to this section shall be valid only for three years, but may be renewed by the board for one additional three-year period. To renew a training certificate, the holder shall apply to the board on or before the certificate's expiration date.
The fee for renewal of a training certificate shall be one hundred dollars. A late application may be submitted not more than thirty days after the certificate's expiration date. In such a case, the holder shall include with the application a one-hundred-fifty-dollar reinstatement fee.
(C) The holder of a valid training certificate shall be entitled to perform such acts as may be prescribed by or incidental to the holder's internship, residency, or clinical fellowship program, but the holder shall not be entitled otherwise to engage in the practice of podiatric medicine and surgery in this state. The holder shall limit activities under the certificate to the programs of the hospitals or facilities for which the training certificate is issued. The holder shall train only under the supervision of the podiatrists responsible for supervision as part of the internship, residency, or clinical fellowship program. A training certificate may be revoked by the board upon proof, satisfactory to the board, that the holder thereof has engaged in practice in this state outside the scope of the internship, residency, or clinical fellowship program for which the training certificate has been issued, or upon proof, satisfactory to the board, that the holder thereof has engaged in unethical conduct or that there are grounds for action against the holder under section 4731.22 of the Revised Code.
(D) The board may adopt rules as the board finds necessary to effect the purpose of this section.
