AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the regulation and oversight of the podiatric profession in Massachusetts. It establishes a Board of Registration in Podiatry within the Board of Registration in Medicine, with five members, three of whom must have at least seven years of podiatry practice in the state. The bill also grants the Board of Registration in Medicine the authority to review and approve rules and regulations proposed by the Podiatry Board, and requires the Podiatry Board to promulgate regulations jointly with the Board of Registration in Medicine and the Commissioner of Public Health to ensure that podiatrists are subject to requirements similar to those that physicians are subject to under the Board of Registration in Medicine, such as the creation and public dissemination of individual profiles, licensure restrictions, disciplinary actions, and other aspects of professional conduct and discipline.
