Section 7008. Limited residency permits

1. Limited residency 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  in  podiatric  medicine
  participating in an approved post-graduate residency program to  perform
  such  duties,  tasks  and  functions  that  are  required for successful
  completion of the residency program under the administrative supervision
  of a licensed podiatrist serving as the residency director in a hospital
  or health care facility licensed pursuant to article twenty-eight of the
  public health law. At any time during the residency 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 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 who remains in the immediate area where
  the procedures  are  being  performed,  authorizes  the  procedures  and
  evaluates the procedures performed by the podiatric resident.
    3.  Such permit shall be issued for one year and may be renewed at the
  discretion of the department  for  one  or  two  additional  years  when
  necessary   to  permit  the  completion  of  an  approved  post-graduate
  residency in podiatric medicine.
    4. The fee for a limited residency permit shall be  one  hundred  five
  dollars and the fee for a renewal shall be fifty dollars.
