Mississippi SB2442 revises definitions and provisions for podiatric medicine and podiatrists.
Mississippi SB2442 amends the Mississippi Code to redefine podiatric medicine and update the scope of practice for podiatrists. The bill specifies that podiatrists can treat disorders of the foot and ankle, including muscles and tendons up to the tibial tubercle. It allows licensed podiatrists to perform surgical and medical treatments of the ankle if they complete a three-year residency approved by the Council of Podiatric Medical Education. Podiatrists must complete training deemed sufficient by the State Board of Medical Licensure to perform surgical treatments of the foot.
