What podiatrists miss in Nebraska
- Nebraska's statute excludes amputation of the forefoot.
- Applicants must show recent activity within 2 years: 1 year of licensed practice elsewhere, 1 year of residency, or board-approved continuing competency.
Can a podiatrist licensed elsewhere get a Nebraska license by endorsement?
DHHS uses one initial application "by Examination or Reciprocity." The Podiatry Practice Act sets the same requirements for every initial applicant. The state's general reciprocity statute does not list podiatry among the professions it covers.
