Title 63 - Board of Podiatric Medicine
Article 63-02 - Licensure
Chapter 63-02-05 - License by Reciprocity
Section 63-02-05-01 - License by reciprocity

1. All applicants for license by reciprocal agreement shall submit a completed application form provided by the board and shall comply with all application requirements set forth in this chapter. In addition to the required primary source licensure verification, the applicant also shall cause to be submitted a statement from a licensure board verifying that the applicant has engaged in the practice of podiatric medicine in that state for the two immediately preceding years. Reciprocity can be granted only with those states or Canadian provinces honoring reciprocity with North Dakota.

2. Such licenses by reciprocity may be granted without examination as is otherwise required in this title. The applicant must not have had the applicant's license to practice podiatric medicine suspended or revoked or engaged in conduct warranting or which would have warranted disciplinary action against a licensee if the conduct was committed in North Dakota, the licensing state or Canadian province, or elsewhere.

3. Such applicant for a license by reciprocity must not have been subjected to disciplinary action in any licensing state or Canadian province.

4. If such an applicant does not satisfy all the requirements set forth herein, the board shall not license such an applicant unless the board determines that the public will be protected through issuance of a license with such conditions or limitations, for such a period as determined by the board, that will guard the public health, safety, and welfare.

5. All applicants for license by reciprocity must be scheduled for and attend a personal appearance before one or more members of the board when the other requirements for licensure by reciprocity have been met. The board may require the applicant for license by reciprocity, at the personal appearance, to respond satisfactorily to questions regarding ethics of practice, the applicant's familiarity with North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-05 and this title, and questions derived from the oral-practical examination.
