The applicant must base an application upon the licensing
examination administered by the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners
(NBPME). The licensing examination is limited to the American Podiatric Medical
Licensing Examination (APMLE) or the NBPME examination. No application will be
accepted on the basis of reciprocity or written examination, other than an
examination administered by the NBPME.
(1) The applicant must pass Parts I, II and
III of the licensing examination.
(2) Part III of the licensing examination may
be waived if the applicant graduated from a school or college of podiatric
medicine before January 1, 2001; and
(a) Is
licensed as a podiatric physician in another state; or
(b) Is certified by the American Board of
Podiatric Medicine (ABPM) or the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery
(ABFAS).
(3) The score
achieved on each Part of the examination must equal or exceed the figure
established by the NBPME as a passing score.
(4) All three Parts of the licensing
examination must be passed within a seven-year period which begins when the
first Part, either Part I or Part II, is passed. An applicant who graduated
from a school or college of podiatric medicine on or after January 1, 2001, and
who has not passed all three Parts within the seven-year period may request a
waiver of the seven-year requirement if he or she:
(a) Has current certification by the ABPM or
the ABFAS; or
(b) Suffered from a
documented significant health condition which by its severity would necessarily
cause a delay to the applicant's podiatric study; or
(c) Experienced other extenuating
circumstances that do not indicate an inability to safely practice podiatric
medicine as determined by the Board.
(5) The applicant who graduated from a school
or college of podiatric medicine on or after January 1, 2001, must have passed
Part III of the licensing examination within four attempts, whether for Oregon
or for any other state. After the third failed attempt, the applicant must have
completed one additional year of postgraduate training in the United States
prior to readmission to the examination. The Board must approve the additional
year of training to determine whether the applicant is eligible for licensure.
The applicant, after completion of the required year of training, must have
passed Part III on their fourth and final attempt. An applicant who has passed
Part III of the licensing examination, but not within the four attempts as
required, may request a waiver of this requirement if he or she has current
certification by the ABPM or the ABFAS.
