I feel a podiatry residency
is meaningless when it comes to determining if a podiatric procedure was propperly performed if the podiatric residency program that was completed was not current and was outdated especially if completed more than 10 years ago. I feel a video tape of a podiatric surgical procedure in a hospital OR is a lot more important in terms of evidence if podiatric malpractice did or did not occur than any surgical podiatric board certification or training or other credentialing a podiatrist may or may not have. This gives every podiatrist without "propper credentialing training or board certification" to be on a more equal footing in podiatric malpractice cases when it comes to determine if podiatric malpractice did or did not occur. This would allow hospital credentialing committees to stop discriminating against podiatrists with photos or videotapes of them currently performing the very surgical procedures they are requesting butlack the formal podiatric credentials such as outdated podiatric residency training and possible board certification that was not recertified and only self assessed.” These and similar personal opinions have already been posted on other websites I set up. disclaimer: The above are only my personal opinions and should not be relied upon. I suggest that consultation with a licensed health care attorney is needed regarding before relying on the above personal opinions. |

My personal opinions: Warning not to rely upon podiatric residency training
that may possibly be outdated. Also if a podiatrist has been board certified more than 10 years why not ask ask if the current board certification is due to recertification by peers or by self assessment exam. |

Foot Physician Podiatrist is a term that I believe can be used in New Jersey
but cannot be used in New York. |
|
My personal opinion is , if a
podiatrists residency training is more than 10 years old and if it is outdated, why should hospitals, state licensure boards rely upon such outdated credentials that possibly do not relate to a podiatrist's current competence? |

For all podiatrists wanting to
help set up a national organization whose mission will be to prevent unfair discrimination of state legislature against currently competent podiatrists who are not residency trained please contact the people listed at http://www.nypodiatry.com |

disclaimer: This idea of setting up a national organization of podiatrists
is only an idea and I need advice from other podiatrists giving their opinions on how to go about setting up such a non profit organization. Do not rely on any information on this website but consult with a licensed healthcare attorney in your state. |

In New York a podiatrist is not recognized as a "physician" under state law.
