36-8-23. Continuing education.

Every two years each person licensed to practice podiatry in this state shall provide the Board of Podiatry Examiners evidence that the person has attended or participated in continuing education in podiatry and related subjects as required by the board by rule. The board shall promulgate rules, pursuant to chapter 1-26, to establish the number of minimum hours of biennial continuing education to be required as a prerequisite to license renewal and requirements, guidelines, and procedures as may be necessary and desirable to implement and fulfill reasonable continuing education requirements to ensure competence in the practice of podiatry by each licensee. The board may reduce, on a pro rata basis, the number of hours of continuing education required by a licensee licensed to practice for less than two years prior to a biennial continuing education deadline.
