period.
(b) An
application filed under s.
Pod 1.03 shall be reviewed by an application review panel
of at least 2 board members designated by the chairperson of the board. The
panel shall determine whether the applicant is eligible for a license without
completing an oral examination.
(c)
All examinations shall be conducted in the English language. Each examination
is scored separately, and the applicant shall achieve passing scores on each
examination to qualify for a license.
(2) The board shall utilize as its
examination the American Podiatric Medical Licensing Examination, Parts I, II,
II Clinical Skills Patient Encounter, and III. The passing scores are set by
the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners and represent the minimum
competency required to protect public health and safety. The board may accept
the recommendations of the examination provider.
(3) The board may deny release of scores or
issuance of a credential if the board determines that the applicant violated
rules of conduct of the examination or otherwise acted dishonestly in the
examination process.
(4) An
applicant who has received passing grades in examinations for a license to
practice podiatry conducted by another licensing jurisdiction of the United
States, shall submit to the board documentary evidence. The board shall review
the documentary evidence to determine whether the scope and passing grades of
the examinations are substantially equivalent to those of this state at the
time of the applicant's examination. If the board finds equivalency, the board
shall accept this in lieu of requiring the applicant to achieve the passing
scores under sub. (2). The burden of proof of equivalency is on the
applicant.
(5) The oral examination
of each applicant is conducted by members of the board and is scored as pass or
fail.
(6) The board shall notify
each applicant found eligible for examination of the time and place scheduled
for that applicant's oral examination. Unless prior scheduling arrangements
have been made with the board by the applicant, failure of an applicant to
appear for examination as scheduled shall void that applicant's application and
require the applicant to reapply for licensure.
(7) Any applicant who is a graduate of a
school of podiatric medicine and surgery in which English is not the primary
language of communication shall be examined by the board on his or her
proficiency in the English language
(8) Otherwise qualified applicants with
disabilities, as defined by the Americans with disabilities act, shall be
provided with reasonable accommodations.
