BILL NUMBER:S7800 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, the public health law, and the civil practice law and rules, in relation to the podiatric scope of practice PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to expand the scope of the practice of podiatry in New York State. Expanding the scope of podiatric practice in New York will bring it more in line with the vast majority of other States in the country which already allow the scope of practice to include the treatment of the ankle and soft tissue areas associated with the ankle, in addition to structures of the foot. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends Education Law section 7001 to expand the scope of practice for podiatry to include, in addition to the treatment of the foot, conditions of the ankle, and all soft tissue structures related to the ankle that go up the leg to just below the knee cap. To limit the scope of practice, Podiatrists may perform surgical treatments of the rear foot and ankle, but such treatment may not extend beyond the calf of the leg, unless it is related to the treatment of the ankle.
