§ 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.
