49 Pa. Code § 18.811 - Graduate permit
(a) Prior to
providing direct patient care during a clinical residency, an individual shall
submit an application, on forms made available by the Board, for a graduate
permit that authorizes the individual to practice as a prosthetist resident.
The Board may grant a graduate permit to an individual who submits a completed
application including the necessary supporting documents, pays the application
fee in §
16.13(n)
(relating to licensure, certification, examination and registration fees) and
meets the qualifications in subsection (b).
(b) The Board may issue a graduate permit to
practice as a prosthetist resident to an applicant who:
(1) Is of good moral character.
(2) Has earned a bachelor's degree,
post-baccalaureate certificate or higher degree from a CAAHEP-accredited
education program with a major in prosthetics or prosthetics/orthotics. An
applicant shall demonstrate this requirement by having the CAAHEP-accredited
educational institution submit, directly to the Board, verification of
completion of a bachelor's degree, post-baccalaureate certificate or higher
degree in prosthetics or prosthetics/orthotics, along with an official copy of
the applicant's transcript.

proof of professional liability insurance coverage through self-insurance, a
personally purchased insurance policy or insurance provided by the applicant's
employer in accordance with §
18.864.
(c) The Board may deny an application for a
graduate permit upon the grounds for disciplinary action in section 41 of the
act (63 P.S. §
422.41),
§
16.61 or §
18.853 (relating to unprofessional
and immoral conduct) or other applicable law, such as

clinical residency or until a provisional license is issued, whichever occurs
first. A graduate permit is nonrenewable.
(e) An individual holding a graduate permit
may use the title "prosthetist resident" and shall inform patients that the
individual is completing a residency training program and is not fully
licensed.
