# Title 63 — Board of Podiatric Medicine

## Article 63-02 — Licensure

## Chapter 63-02-05 — License by Reciprocity

### § 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.
