Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) It is the policy of the Board of
				Podiatric Medicine that solicitation by podiatric physicians in the state
				should be regulated so as to effectuate the duty of the State of Florida to
				protect the health, safety and welfare of its residents, while not abridging
				any rights guaranteed to such licensees or to the public by the Constitutions
				of the United States and the State of Florida as construed by the United States
				Supreme Court and the Florida Supreme Court.
(2) A podiatric physician shall not solicit,
				in person or otherwise, a prospective patient with whom a podiatric physician
				has no family or prior professional relationship, when a significant motive for
				such solicitation is the podiatric physician's pecuniary gain. A podiatric
				physician shall not permit employees or agents of the podiatric physician to
				solicit in the podiatric physician's behalf. A podiatric physician shall not
				enter into an agreement for, charge, or collect a fee for professional services
				obtained in violation of this rule. The term "solicit" includes contact in
				person, by telephone, telegraph, or facsimile, or by other communication
				directed to a specific recipient and includes any written form of communication
				directed to a specific recipient.
(a) A
				written communication to a prospective patient constitutes soliciting if:
1. It has been made known to the podiatric
				physician that the person does not want to receive such communication from the
				podiatric physician,
2. The
				communication involves coercion, duress, fraud, overreaching, harassment,
				intimidation, or undue influence,
3. The communication contains a false,
				fraudulent, misleading, deceptive, or unfair statement or claim or is improper
				under Rule  64B18-14.004,

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Hospital Scientific Programs. When a
				podiatric physician is a member of a hospital staff and attends scientific
				programs sponsored by the hospital in the areas of podiatric medicine and
				surgery or relevant to podiatric medicine in that the program will enhance the
				knowledge and abilites of the podiatric physician in terms of improved quality
				and delivery of patient care, then attendance at such programs may be credited
				toward satisfaction of the Board's continuing education requirement, except
				that the podiatric physician may only count four (4) hours so obtained each
				year of the biennium toward the forty (40) hours of continuing education
				required for the biennium. A podiatric physician who takes advantage of this
				provision and whose continuing education is audited must provide certification
				from the hospital authorities in charge of the hospital-sponsored scientific
				program which demonstrates that the podiatric physician has attended the
				requisite number of hours at a hospital-sponsored scientific program.
(2) Residency Programs in Podiatric Medicine.
				Podiatric physician enrolled in hospital-sponsored residency programs for a
				year may be credited with fifteen (15) hours of continuing education for each
				of no more than two years.
(3)
				Business meetings of local component or state organizational component of
				American Podiatric Medical Association. The Board recognizes that continuing
				professional education is normally provided as a part of the agenda of the
				business meetings of local podiatric societies. However, the frequency and
				length of such educational presentations vary from meeting to meeting and from
				society to society. In light of such, a podiatric physician who attends the
				business meetings of a local component or a state organizational component of
				the American Podiatric Medical Association during a calendar year may obtain up
				to four (4) hours of continuing education credit for that year. A podiatric
				physician who takes advantage of business meeting continuing education and
				whose continuing education credit is audited, must provide certification from
				the local podiatric society identifying the dates of the business meetings
				attended by that podiatric physician and the educational program that took
				place on those dates.
