(A)  ISSUANCE.

THE BOARD MAY ISSUE A LICENSE AS A PODIATRIC ASSISTANT
TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO MEETS THE TRAINING AND OTHER
REQUIREMENTS SET BY THE BOARD.

(B)  SCOPE.

A LICENSE AS A PODIATRIC ASSISTANT AUTHORIZES THE
LICENSEE TO PRACTICE PODIATRY, WHILE THE LICENSE IS
EFFECTIVE, ONLY:

(1)  UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A LICENSED
PODIATRIST; AND

(2)  SUBJECT TO THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THE
BOARD ADOPTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §§
481(b) and 492(c).

For a further discussion of this section, see the
General Revisor's Note to this title.

SUBTITLE 4. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

15-401. TITLES.

A LICENSED PODIATRIST MAY NOT APPEND TO THE NAME OF THE
LICENSEE OR USE AS A TITLE ANY WORD OR ABBREVIATION THAT
SUGGESTS THAT THE LICENSEE IS LICENSED TO PRACTICE MEDICINE
RATHER THAN PODIATRY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §
481(c)(1).

The present specific reference to using the title
"podiatrist" is deleted to allow for the accepted
use, in practice, of other titles as well.
Instead, this section sets forth expressly the
apparent intent behind the present law — i.e.,
that a podiatrist may not use a title that
misleads the public into believing that the
podiatrist is a physician. See also § 14-702 of
this article.

15-402. PRACTICE UNDER NAME SHOWN ON LICENSE ONLY;
EXCEPTIONS.

(A) IN GENERAL.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, A
PODIATRIST MAY PRACTICE ONLY UNDER THE NAME ON THE LICENSE
OF THE PODIATRIST.
