The Board is the licensing authority of podiatrists in the State of Maryland. The Board is mandated to protect the public by regulating the practice of podiatry in Maryland, by licensing qualified podiatrists, establishing fees, maintaining a current roster of all licensees, administration of licensing examinations, enforcing current statutes and regulations, adopting new regulations to carry out provisions of the Title, suggesting new changes to the Title to keep abreast of trends and practice issues, adopting standards of practice for podiatrists, verification of credentials, issuance of licenses, establish requirements for and verification of completion of continuing education, investigation of complaints based on alleged violations of regulations and statutes, formal and informal disciplining of licensees, create committees as deemed appropriate to advise the Board.

The program is 100% special funded. The fund is supported exclusively by revenues generated by licensing fees. The Board consists of seven members appointed by the Governor with the advice of the Secretary. Five members of the Board are licensed podiatrists and two members represent the consumer public.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PODIATRISTS WITH PERMIT TO DISPENSE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

A Permit to Dispense Prescription Drugs from the Maryland Board of Podiatry allows a podiatrist to dispense prescription drugs to a patient only when the pharmacy is not conveniently available to the patient, as determined by the patient. If prescriptions will be dispensed in more than one location or by more than one podiatrist, a separate dispensing permit is required for each. Dispensing Permits are valid only at the location identified on the Permit. --More > >
