The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the Podiatric Medicine and Surgery – General Rules rule set.  
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.
