There are one or two states that would allow the DPM perform surgery up to the hip.
Hi, sorry to change the subject but I hear this alot. Which states are they? Anyone know? Thanks.
does anyone know the scope of practice in the different provinces in canada?
You have to be really careful what you believe in regards to scope in some of the states like Georgia regardless of how vague the state law is written. Even the best trained podiatrists in that state are not doing knee or hip procedures. Grafting skin from the thigh or bone from the hip maybe, but they are definitely not scoping knees or treating knee problems. I only mention this because I feel like some pre-pods are under the impression that someday they can do knee replacements if they live in Georgia or Florida. I'd hate to see them disappointed when they realize that isn't really the case.
I know that in Canada, it's only very minor surgery that you can do in your clinic
Let say that I want to practice in the US (in california to be specific), do the states recognise my DPM? How about the residency?
