What podiatrists miss in New Jersey
- Good standing for reciprocity also means no adverse action on privileges by any out-of-state hospital, organization or employer.
Can a podiatrist licensed elsewhere get a New Jersey license by endorsement?
The board issues a license by reciprocity to a podiatrist licensed in good standing in a state with substantially equivalent education, training and exam requirements who practiced at least 2 of the 5 years before applying. A criminal background check applies, and a nonresident without a New Jersey office names an in-state agent.
