§ 43-05-14 — When license issued without examination

The board may issue a license without examination to a podiatrist of another state or
Canadian province if:
1. The other state or Canadian province grants like privileges to podiatrists of this state;
2. The other state or Canadian province maintains equal statutory requirements for
practicing podiatric medicine;
3. The applicant pays a fee of not more than five hundred dollars as determined by the
board;
4. The applicant has been engaged legally in the active practice of podiatric medicine for
at least two years immediately preceding the date of application;
5. The applicant presents satisfactory evidence to the board indicating the current status
of a license to practice podiatric medicine which has been issued by the proper agency
in another state or Canadian province;
6. The applicant has not had a license suspended or revoked, or has not engaged in
conduct warranting or which would have warranted disciplinary action against a
licensee if the conduct was committed in this state or elsewhere, or has not been
subjected to disciplinary action in another state or Canadian province. If an applicant
does not satisfy the requirements of this subsection, the board shall refuse to issue a

license unless the board determines that the public will be protected through issuance
of a license with conditions or limitations considered appropriate by the board; and
7. The applicant submits with the application the following information for the five-year
period before the date of filing the application:
a. The name and address of the applicant's professional liability insurance carrier in
the other state or Canadian province; and
b. The number, date, and disposition of any podiatric medical malpractice settlement
or award made to the plaintiff relating to the quality of podiatric medical treatment.
