Title of proposed rule set:  
Podiatric Medicine and Surgery – General Rules  
3. Purpose for the proposed rules and background:  
This rule set pertains to the licensure, relicensure, and license renewals of podiatrists.  
The rules will be amended to review the impact of the amendment to MCL 333.16186 on applicants  
applying for licensure by endorsement. The rule pertaining to the examinations required for licensure  
will be reviewed and revised as needed to reflect changes that have been made to the American  
Podiatric Medical Licensing Examination. All rules will be reviewed and revised as needed for  
clarity and to provide up-to-date information.  
4. Summary of proposed rules:  
The proposed rules will amend and clarify the training standards for identifying victims of human  
trafficking, the requirements for licensure by examination, and the requirements for licensure by  
endorsement. The proposed rules will also amend the examination requirements for licensure to  
reflect the current testing requirements for each license type. The requirements for licensure by  
endorsement and relicensure will be amended to require the applicant to disclose each health care  
credential ever held and to have resolved any disciplinary action taken against that health care  
credential before being licensed by endorsement or relicensed. The proposed rules will also update  
the standards for educational programs and amend and clarify the training and continuing education  
requirements for license renewal and the approved activities and sponsors for accumulating  
continuing education credits.
