The Board of Podiatry Examiners, originally created by Chapter 173, Acts of 1916, received its present name by Chapter 416, Acts of 1965_. The Board consists of four members appointed by the Board of Medical Examiners for four-year terms. One must be a member of the Board of Medical Examiners and the other three must be selected from the membership of the Maryland Podiatry Association. The Board examines all persons who wish to practice podiatry in the State. Applicants must have at least two years of education in a recognized college of arts and sciences and be graduates of a school or college of podiatry classified "A" or "B" by the American Podiatry Association. The examinations, which may be written, oral, or prac- tical, are given in January and July of each year. The Board also issues annual licenses to all podiatrists engaged in active practice within the State. The Board may revoke the license of any podiatrist, after a hearing, who is charged with malpractice or unethical conduct (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., Art. 43, sees. 481-98).

Four members must be professional engineers and one a professional land surveyor. Land surveyors and professional engineers wishing to practice in the State of Maryland must apply to the Board for a cer- tificate, supplying with their application evidence of their qualifica- tions both in experience and training. The Board publishes annually a Roster which contains the names of those authorized to practice as professional engineers and/or land surveyors and issues an annual report to the Governor. The Board is a member of the National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners, which aids in the reciprocal licensing of engineers and seeks to promote uniform stand- ards of licensing in all States. Through the cooperation of the local chapters of the engineering fraternities, the Board seeks to secure voluntary compliance with the law and the maintenance of the ethical standards of the profession. However, the Board has specific powers of enforcement. These include the investigation of charges as well as the hearing of complaints of violations of the registration law, the power to subpoena witnesses and the submission of documents or other pertinent data, and the power to apply for relief by injunction to enforce the provisions of the law or to restrain any violation of it.
