State Board of Podiatry

About State Board of Podiatry

The State Board of Podiatry is a Pennsylvania Department of State board headquartered in Harrisburg that regulates the licensure, registration, and discipline of podiatrists practicing podiatric medicine within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Rather than providing direct patient care, the board oversees compliance with the state's Podiatry Practice Act and accompanying regulations, administers the examination and licensing process in coordination with the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners, and reviews conduct that may depart from accepted standards of the profession. The board publishes announcements, meeting schedules, and a current list of board members, and offers a licensure snapshot for those pursuing a podiatry license in Pennsylvania. It also supports military and veteran licensure initiatives and best practices guidance under Act 53 of 2020. Consumers and licensees can reach the board by phone, email, or mail, though board staff and legal counsel do not provide legal advice or advisory opinions on individual cases.
