The differences are in the details, from exam attempts to board certification. Here is a side-by-side reading, and why the physician compact's track record says little about timing for podiatry.

Maryland enacted the podiatry compact in 2026, but the law only takes effect once four other states enact it, and the compact is not active. What a Maryland application needs today.
