(a) A holder of a temporary residency license who has entered the final year of an accredited GPME program, is in good standing with the GPME program, and is on course to complete the course in a timely manner, is permitted to apply for the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine license in the spring, if the resident has entered and signed the "Memorandum of Understanding for Conditional Issuance of Texas Doctor of Podiatric Medicine License" (MOU).

(b) A holder of a temporary residency license who passes the jurisprudence examination, is in compliance with the resident's MOU(s), and meets all other requirements of the law regarding licensure may be issued a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine license prior to completion of the last year of the residency. The Doctor of Podiatric Medicine license issued under this subsection will be subject to the resident's MOU and to the following conditions and restrictions:

(1) the resident must pass and graduate from the resident's accredited GPME program by the date noted in the resident's MOU;

(2) the resident must submit proof of passage and graduation to the department within 30 days after the end date of the residency as noted on the MOU. Failure to timely provide the required proof to the department subjects the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine license to automatic revocation;

(3) the resident must practice podiatry only under the temporary residency license, and subject to the scope and limits of the GPME program, and must not practice podiatry under the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine license until after passage and graduation from the GPME program and after providing to the department proof of such completion and graduation; and

(4) the resident must comply with any other provisions in statute and rule applicable to a license to practice podiatry.
