When to Apply

Apply for a Podiatric Physician In-Training license if you are a Podiatric Physician participating in an:

• in-state Delaware residency program, or
• out-of-state residency program that has a rotation of 45 days or longer in Delaware.

As a Podiatrist In-Training licensee, you are limited to the practice of medicine in the hospital where you are employed except for any outside medical duties that may be assigned as part of your residency program. You must perform outside duties under the supervision of a fully licensed podiatric physician.

ATTACHING AND ACKNOWLEDGING DOCUMENTS

• either “attach” or “upload” the required document(s) directly to your application. This means you will find the document(s) saved on your computer or device and upload it to your application.

• click “acknowledge.” This means you will either have to mail the documents yourself or request the “third-party” mail the document(s) directly to the Board office.
  • Examples of “third-party forms” are transcripts from schools, employment verifications from a supervisor, and license verifications from another state.
• Forms requiring a supervisor signature, seal, or notary may have to be MAILED to the Board office directly UNLESS the document specifically indicates to UPLOAD the document.

The requirements for this license type are provided in the following section(s).
