PURPOSE: This rule ensures that licensed podiatrists
and their affiliated firms are registered correctly with the secretary of state
and with the State Board of Podiatric Medicine and also ensures that a licensee
with this board files a list of assumed trade names or any other names the
licensee shall use, other than what is registered with the
board.
(1) The practice of
podiatric medicine under a trade name or assumed name is prohibited, unless the
trade name or assumed name is properly registered with the secretary of state
pursuant to the provisions of sections 417.200-417.230, RSMo, or
otherwise.
(2) Every person
licensed to engage in the practice of podiatric medicine in this state shall
file with the board a list of assumed names, trade names, or any names other
than the name under which a license to practice has been issued by the board,
that is used in his or her practice, before using such name.
(3) A person engaged in the practice of
podiatric medicine under any assumed name, trade name, or any name other than
the name under which a license to practice has been issued by the board, shall
immediately disclose to any person, upon request and without condition, the
licensed name of each and every person involved in the practice of podiatric
medicine under the assumed name, trade name, or any other name.
(4) A person engaged in the practice of
podiatric medicine shall require any subordinate to immediately disclose to any
person, upon request and without condition, the licensed name of each and every
person involved in the practice of podiatric medicine under an assumed name,
trade name, or any other name.
